Why did Alberto Burri choose sackcloth as a medium in 1953?
Following his experience as a medical officer in WWII, Burri utilized humble materials like burlap to explore themes of trauma and repair. The sackcloth, often from flour sacks, acted as a 'skin' that he would cut and stitch.
What does the 'Sacco' series represent in art history?
The Sacco series marks a pivotal shift toward Materialism. By rejecting traditional oil paints for 'poor' materials, Burri influenced the Arte Povera movement and redefined the canvas as a three-dimensional object rather than just a surface.
