Lei non sa che la guardiamo XL (1989) Printmaking by Bruno Munari

Bruno Munari was born in Milan in 1907. Having started studying and practicing graphic art, he soon came into contact with the futurists of the so-called 'second wave'. In 1930 he created the first 'Aerial Sculpture', which would transform into the 'Useless Machines' series. with which he would become famous among the artists of the 1930s. As his artistic and graphic work matured, he progressively detached himself from the Futurist group, to find himself in an autonomous position with respect to all Italian artistic currents. Eclectic artist, in 1948 he is among the founders of the MAC (Concrete Art Movement), whose purpose is to unequivocally indicate the need for a renewal in art through the proposal of geometric abstractionism and the "synthesis of the arts" , an interdisciplinary position between painting, architecture, plastic, industrial design. Starting from the 1950s his work also met with wide acceptance abroad (throughout Europe, but also in the USA and Japan). Munari succeeded to reconcile the extreme versatility of his interests with a method that remains, despite its versatility, fundamentally unitary, a method in which rationality and imagination, calculation and invention, project and chance, construction and play, manual skills and technology, useful and non-useful, norm and freedom, order and disorder, analysis and irony" (Luciano Caramel), paying extreme attention both to the material and the technical support and to the idea and conception of the work, in a wonderfully accomplished synthesis of mind and hand. Bruno Munari died in 1998.
