Alberto Burri An artistic research throughout a lifetime
With the rubbles of war still present and with the artistic debate strongly affected by the “socialist realism” represented by Guttuso (from the Togliatti Communist Party, to which he belonged) and the fragile attempts to open himself up to abstraction, precisely in Florence, from the group of Gualtiero Nativi, Vinicio Berti, Bruno Brunetti, Alvaro Monnini, Mario Nuti, Alberto Burri had the great merit of bringing our country out of localism, by opening it to the attention of the American market.
