ABSTRACT
Gabriella Drudi was a translator, writer, and art critic. She was involved with the avant-garde art world in Rome and collaborated with many Italian and international journals. In 1942 in New York, Max Ernst discovered a new automatic process: hang a tin pierced at the base from a string, fill it up with liquid paint, and give it gentle pushes with the hand or elbow to provoke swinging movements. Louise Nevelson, however, continues to color her memory wardrobes black: long black dresses on coat hangers, her great-aunt’s drawers crammed with objects saved from ultimate destruction and lost like a piano locked up forever or even the darkness of puberty at the first discovery of the womb and chaos. Autopsy in the belly of the Whale. In the happenings, a dismemberment of space is conducted: the paper walls of the labyrinth collapse, leaving the spectators in empty space.
