Alberto Burri
Alberto Burri participated in the Second World War as a field doctor and began to take an interest in painting during his imprisonment, before dedicating himself completely to art and becoming one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His works belong to informal art, a movement born at the end of the 1940s that rejected figurative art in favour of a new pictorial language, using new and unprecedented materials such as tars, iron, mould, wood, earth, glue, pumice and enamel.Alberto Burri

Burri's works can be classified into series: the Blacks, the Humps, the Moulds, the Sacks, the Combustions, the Irons and Woods; the artist then moves on to the manipulation of artificial materials such as the Plastics. The materials, the collage, the tears, the seams, the burns are transformed into a violent and intense image orchestrated by the painter. This is followed by the Cretti and Cellotex series.

The work Red Black is a canvas made with a mixed technique: oil paint, canvas and pumice sand. The canvas on which the artist worked has already been painted. The pumice stone sands are spread on the surface in an irregular manner, leaving some parts rougher and in relief, others less so.
The work is located at Gallerie d'Italia - Milano.
