“Timeless shapes” by Andrea Benetti curated by Elisa Mazzagardi
texts by Stefano Bonaga, Andrea Benetti, Gregorio Rossi and Corrado Rozzi
With “Timeless Shapes,” Andrea Benetti aims to highlight the prehistoric origins of abstract art, emphasizing how extensively it employed recurring symbols, comparable to today’s digital iconography. Andrea Benetti draws inspiration from cave painting, underlining how it already contained the seeds of future artistic movements that developed over time, culminating in the 20th century with abstractionism. Picasso himself, after visiting the famous caves of Cantabria, stated, “After Altamira, all is decadence.”
