Un orologiaio che sogna. Gli scritti sulle arti visive di Angelo Maria Ripellino

Ripellino´s art criticism reveals characteristics similar to that of literary subjects, which, on the other hand, presents continuous references to the world of art. In the history of Italian art criticism, Ripellino ranks in the tradition inaugurated by Longhi; yet Ripellino has its own peculiar style, due to the influence of the European avant-gardes, to friendship with important Italian and Slavic artists, to an imagination deeply linked to the world of visual arts, in a very broad sense that includes theater, cinema, the circus, the collage.
