Bartolo Cattafi is one of the most authentic voices of the second half of the 20th century. A poet of extraordinary intellectual complexity, he moved with ease between different artistic forms, from poetry to painting, from drawing to photography. This volume presents an innovative reading of his work, identifying Cattafi’s distinctive trait in the contamination between different expressive languages, starting from the influences of the historical avant-gardes as well as postwar artistic currents and experimentation. The previously unpublished materials are functional to the reconstruction of the poet’s environments, characters, and aesthetic interests, and confirm the original breadth of his artistic experience.
