Mimmo Rotella, Italian artist (1918 -2006) exponent of new realism and 20th century art, based his work and perception of reality on posters on the streets of Rome since 1953 in layers superimposed on the city walls, to the mercy abuse and the action of the weather and everyday accidents. He brought these vivid images from the contemporary imagination to his studio where they gained new life in collages on canvas, which he titled “Décollages” creating true urban landscapes. Rotella was the first artist to exhibit Torn Posters as a work of art, which corresponded to a true technical and linguistic innovation in the universe of artistic forms, a process that would later have an extraordinary importance and which among us would gain in the work of Ana Hatherly, in the 70s, and in her cut and pasted posters about the 25th of April, a special meaning. Carlos Barroco also affiliates his work with this poetry. The Portuguese Screen Printing Center in partnership with the Cinemateca Portuguesa organizes and presents an exhibition of multiple of its famous “décollages”, around fifty works, whose theme is the great magical figures ;ethics of cinema, arising from the 1962 exhibition in Paris: “Cinecittà” who lends the title to the current shows. » The exhibition opens on October 29th and is divided into several sections, which include the Cinemateca Portuguesa itself, with a selection of 15 works under the generic title Dé collages. » At the CPS Headquarters, compositions from the Eternamente Marilyn group will be appreciated, where the sensuality and timelessly explosive beauty of Andy Warhol's muse will shine. » In the CPS exhibition space at the Centro Cultural de Belém, the works of the Paixão and Glamor ensemble will come together, representing mythical couples from cinema classics: Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh, Humpfrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, Gérard Philippe and Jeanne Moreau, Gary Grant and Grace Kelly, Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. » In the Twin Towers CPS Gallery and gathered under the title: Rebels and Fantastics, the great figures of the American Western will be highlighted, with its exponent John Wayne, among other icons of American cinema, such as Elvis Presley and James Dean, without forgetting the emblematic Batman. The French art critic Pierre Restany was responsible in 1960, at Yves Klein's studio, for defining “Nouveau Realisme” as “a new perspective in approaching reality” that would bring together and give meaning to the aesthetics from artists such as Arman, Cesar, Christo, Deschamps, Dufrene, Hains, Klein, Raysse, Rotella, St. Phale, Spoerri, Tinguely and Villégié. All these artists had in common the recycling of material of industrial origin, ready-made objects with an obvious connection with modern consumer society. In 1960, at his request, Rotella joined the group of new realists with his French colleagues. Mimmo Rotella's art is only can be understood in the wake of the founding avant-gardes of the 20th century, such as Cubism, Futurism, Constructivism and even Dadaism and Surrealism, as well as more recent movements such as Abstract Expressionism and Action Painting .
