"Arte e teoria dell'arte" is a famous series published by Feltrinelli starting in the 1970s. The volumes of this historic series are immediately recognizable by their large square format, the cloth-covered cover protected by a dust jacket and, above all, the distinctive yellow spine bearing the titles in black. This series was fundamental to the history of art criticism in Italy, as it gathered in monumental, rigorous, and richly illustrated editions all the writings of the great pioneers of modern art and the avant-gardes.
Vasilij Kandinskij – All the Writings (published in 2 volumes). Includes fundamental theoretical texts such as Point and Line in the Plane and On the Spiritual in Art, as well as unpublished Bauhaus courses, poems and theatrical writings.
René Magritte – All the Writings (edited by André Blavier). A mammoth collection of over 700 pages that includes letters, manifestos, aphorisms and reflections on the surrealism of the Belgian master.
Piet Mondrian – All the Writings (edited by Harry Holtzman). The volume gathers the entire theoretical production and essays on Neoplasticism by the Dutch painter.
Carlo Carrà – All the Writings (edited by Massimo Carrà). A fundamental work for understanding Futurism and the evolution toward Metaphysical painting in Italy.
