– Marco Vanucci

Marco Vanucci and Drawing Matter revisit three seminal texts of Luigi Moretti, not generally available in translation. Christopher Huw Evans has translated the three texts for Drawing Matter. 

The first post presented Luigi Moretti’s opening article ‘Eclecticism and Unity of Language’ that was published in the first issue of Spazio.

This second post presents Moretti’s ‘Abstract Forms in Baroque Sculptures’ that appeared in the third issue of Spazio. In it, Moretti analyses baroque sculpture, offering fresh insights into the study of the voluptuous drapery and the informal motifs that envelop the human figures in this artistic style. 

With special thanks to Archivio Moretti Magnifico.
