PIERO MANZONI
Piero Manzoni Biography
(b Soncino, Cremona, 13 July 1933; d Milan, 6 Feb 1963). Italian painter and conceptual artist. He was self-taught as an artist. Shortly after he began painting he started to question the traditional aims and methods of the artist, expressing the nature of his searching in both writings and the objects that he produced. With Ettore Sordini (b 1934), Camillo Corvi-Morra and Giuseppe Zecca he co-edited the manifesto Per la scoperta di una zona di immagini (Milan, 1956). A manifesto with the same title written by Manzoni alone appeared almost immediately afterwards (19567). In his text he stressed the relationship between artistic expression and the collective unconscious, arguing that through extreme self-awareness the artist is able to tap mythological sources and to realize authentic and universal values; the canvas should remain an area of freedom in which the artist may go in search of primal images.
