Description
"The
sacks
used
in these
canvases
often
displayed
stenciled
letters
relating
to their
commercial
origins
. This
suggests
some
link
with the
German
prewar
Dadaist
,
Kurt
Schwitters
who
made
collages
from
printed
waste
paper
.
However
,
Burri
,
unlike
[Robert]
Rauschenberg
,
dissociated
himself
from the
Dada
spirit
. He also
played
down
the
evident
biologistic
associations
of the
works
,
emphasizing
their
abstract
materiality.
"

; "
Italy
, and
Rome
in
particular
,
proved
revelatory
, and
[Robert]
Rauschenberg
twice
visited
the
studio
of
Rome-based
painter
Alberto
Burri
,
whose
Sacchi
of the
early
1950s
,
consisting
of
patched
and
stitched
burlap
bags
mounted
on
stretchers
, were
part
of an
informel
movement
paralleling
that in
France.
