Résumé
|
|
The Departure of the Argonaut is the travelogue and wartime diary of Alberto Savinio, one of the seminal figures in twentieth-century Italian arts and letters. The Savinio text was translated for this book by George Scrivani and includes five chapters and an epilogue. Clemente's accompanying images transcend traditional illustration, providing a subtle balance between the fantasy of the artist and the visual ideas of the text. Each chapter is treated in a fresh and different style, and in each a unity of word and image is achieved that represents the art of the illustrasted book at its most ambitious. Clemente has stated that during his work on this project he became fascinated, as never before in his career, with the technical aspects of printmaking. He has used a broad range of lithographic techniques and materials to produce a remarkable variety of visual effects. His illumination of the text is a richly personal work, inventive, witty, and elegant. Included in this exhibition are two adjunct works, Untitled A and Untitled B. Drawn at the same time as The Departure of the Argonaut, these mythological landscapes build upon Argonaut's themes of mortality, sexuality, and the fluidity of life.
