AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Piero and Barnaba Fornasetti
Texts by Daniela Schirinzi
Piero Fornasetti was not a mere artist or craftsman. He was a collector of worlds, a man who gathered, archived, reinvented. A predator of images, as Barnaba Fornasetti put it, or a refined thief of the past, we would say. He transformed this obsession into language, and language into objects. Decoration, for him, was not a superfluous addition but a form of thought, a natural and indispensable fact, in contrast to modernist dogmas: a way to restore depth to the object through storytelling and the quality of drawing. Fornasetti is an anomaly. He is not only design, not only a brand, not only art and not only craftsmanship. He is an idea that resists time.
Guernieri M., Schirinzi D.; Piero and Barnaba Fornasetti. Paperback with flaps, 26 x 28.5 cm, 95 pages, Italian language; Milan, RCS Mediagroup, 2025.
