“Brushes alone are no longer enough for the artist. A sort of total art is necessary precisely in the light of all the attempts already made”.
The volume by Germano Celant constitutes an art-critical and historical analysis of Paladino's work since 1963, pinpointing his contribution to the renewal of painting and its further extension to encompass installation as well as photography, sculpture, architecture, cinema, opera and theatre.
The monograph opens with Germano Celant's essay The Constructions of Mimmo Paladino and continues with a chronology (compiled by Celant and Diletta Borromeo) of the master's life and career, richly illustrated with images and statements of artistic intent, followed by lists of exhibitions and special projects, and a bibliography.
