Ninfa Moderna: Über Den Fall Des Faltenwurfs

Rate this book
Aby Warburg, indagando l'arte dalla prospettiva delle "sopravvivenze dell'antichit", riserv particolare attenzione a un'immagine conturbante, una figura femminile ornata di panneggi alla quale diede il nome di Ninfa. Questo studio prolunga la ricerca warburgiana di Ninfa e interroga il motivo del corpo femminile e del panneggio attraverso le sue metamorfosi contemporanee. A partire dalle figure languide delle Veneri rinascimentali e dalle sante martiri barocche, si delinea un movimento che culminer in artisti quali Brassi, Moholy-Nagy, Alain Fleischer, Atget e Picasso. Gli artisti moderni, volgendo lo sguardo agli scarti e alle figure miserevoli che giacciono sui marciapiedi delle grandi citt, riveleranno le ultime incarnazioni di Ninfa.
