L'uscita di questo libro voluto e progettato da Giulio Paolini coincide, in un certo senso, con l'uscita di scena dell'artista. Mero testimone di una creazione che lo precede e lo supera, ancora una volta egli sceglie di restare ai margini del teatro dell'opera, in perenne attesa che la bellezza si manifesti. Le oltre cento tavole create ad hoc e che qui appaiono per la prima volta, svelano il pensiero di uno dei grandi protagonisti dell'arte italiana del Novecento, narrato da riflessioni personali e note di commento.

Info autore
Among the greatest representatives of the art of our time, Giulio Paolini (1940) began his artistic career in 1960. From his first solo show in 1964 up until today he has held numerous exhibitions in international museums and galleries. His poetics deal with issues concerning the conception, the manifestation and the vision of the work of art. Since his first investigations on the fundamental elements of the picture his attention has later focused on the exhibition phenomenon, on the idea of the work of art as a catalogue of its very possibilities, as well as on the figure of the author and the lacking contact with the work of art, which preexists and transcends him. Trained as a graphic designer, Giulio Paolini has always shown a special interest in editorial projects. From the very beginning his research has been accompanied by considerations gathered in volumes that he himself edited.
