Book synopsis

Influential, innovative and aesthetically experimental, the films of Michelangelo Antonioni are widely recognized as both exemplars of cinema and key in ushering in its new or modern incarnation around 1960. Antonioni and the Aesthetics of Impurity offers a radical rethinking of the directors work. It argues against prevalent understandings of it in terms of both cinematic purity and indebtedness to painting. Reconnecting Antonionis aesthetically audacious films of the 1960s and 1970s to the ferment of their historical time, Antonioni and the Aesthetics of Impurity brings into relief these works crucial, yet overlooked, affinity with the new, impure, art practices of John Cage, Franco Vaccari, Robert Smithson, Piero Gilardi and Andy Warhol among others that precipitated the demotion of painting from its privileged position as a paradigm for all the arts. Revealing an Antonioni who embraced both mixed and mass media and reflected on them via cinema, the book replaces auteuristic, if not hagiographic, accounts of the directors work with a new understanding of its critical significance across the modern visual arts and culture more broadly.
