The rise of "Poor Art" in Italy: around the years 1960’s in Italy a bunch of young artists choosen to create a new form of artworks using “poor” elements: shredded clothes, rags, wood, clay, plaster, rusted iron, straw, wicker etc... Step by step this strange use of elements evolved into an interesting develop of new languages.
They were going across the “Pop Art” creating a new form of real popular Art, because of the use of household objects and common materials. The pillar of this new language should be found inside “dadaism,” a provocative movement created in the early 20th century in Zurich and still respected, after WWII, by the modern artists.
