During the 1970s, Francesco Clemente developed a body of work that defined a generation living in political crisis and cultural reformation. Francesco Clemente, Works 1971-1979 examines the
development of early artistic notions rooted in self-fragmentation, a questioning of western rationality, and the refutation of capitalist ideals. With over a hundred works, this survey traces
the link between Clemente's ink on paper works and conceptual photographs, heightened exponentially by the transferrence of both styles to canvas. Along with the cultural climate in Rome,
journeys through Delhi, Madras, and Srinagar fermented Clemente's means of artistic exploration through the body - his trust of geography over history - and initiated one of the most celebrated
expressionistic legacies.
