Der Text von Roberto Crippa wurde aus dem Italienischen übersetzt von Fr. Bodien, Köln. de Crippa, Roberto: Broschiert (1965) Signatur des Verfassers Antiquariat am St. Vith Roberto Crippa, was an Italian painter and sculptor. Born at Monza, Milan. Studied at the Brera Academy, Milan, under Carpi and Carrà. First one-man exhibition at the Galleria Bergamini, Milan, 1947. After a brief period of geometrical abstraction, collaborated with Lucio Fontana in the Spazialismo movement and signed the Spazialismo manifestos of 1950-3; friendships also with Dova, Peverelli, Donati. Pioneered action painting in Italy with his calligraphic spiral paintings, ca.1949-52. Partly through contacts with the Surrealists Lam, Matta and Brauner, Crippa turned in the mid 1950s to painting totem-like personages, and from 1956 also made cast iron sculptures of these. In 1958 he began to make collage-reliefs incorporating wood, newspaper, ceramic, etc., evoking imaginary landscapes or figures; his later collage-paintings tended to become more brilliant in colour. A champion at aerial acrobatics, he was killed in a plane crash at Bresso, Milan (From Mazzoleni with thanks). Spatialism is an art movement founded by the Italian artist Lucio Fontana in Milan in the 1947 in which he grandiosity intended to synthesize colour, sound, space, movement and time into a new type of art. The main ideas of this movement were anticipate in his Manifiesto Blanco, published in Buenos Aires in 1946. In it he spoke of a neo "spatial" art in keeping the spirit of the post war age.
