Where it came from
Published in 1973 by Toninelli Arte Moderna in Milan, this monograph serves as a definitive catalog of the work of Paolo Baratella, a pivotal figure in the Italian New Figuration movement. The book was produced during a period of intense political and social transition in Italy, capturing Baratella's signature style which often blended surrealist imagery with biting socio-political commentary. It reflects the artist’s commitment to using the human form as a vessel for criticizing institutional power and cultural stagnation during the 1960s and 70s.
The publication was curated to document Baratella’s contributions to contemporary painting, highlighting his complex compositions that challenged traditional academic aesthetics. By collaborating with Toninelli, a prestigious gallery known for supporting radical contemporary artists, the book established Baratella’s place within the European avant-garde. It remains a primary reference for those studying the intersection of Italian political history and neo-figurative art, prized for its detailed reproductions that showcase the artist's jarring color palettes and distorted, provocative subjects.
