This volume--the most comprehensive book on the artist in print--explores the beauty and complexity of the creative process, \"material poetry,\" that undergirded all of his work.\u003cbr\u003eBurri worked with the most varied materials with an inexhaustible creative energy: tar, paper, fabric, jute sacks, combustions of plastic, wood and iron all found their way into his picture plane, transfiguring the vocabulary of painting for the postwar sensibility. The titles of Burri's various series convey this \"material poetry\" \u003ci\u003eGobbi\u003c\/i\u003e (hunchbacks), \u003ci\u003eMuffe\u003c\/i\u003e (molds), \u003ci\u003eBianchi\u003c\/i\u003e (whites), \u003ci\u003eLegni\u003c\/i\u003e (woods), \u003ci\u003eFerri\u003c\/i\u003e (irons), \u003ci\u003eCombustioni plastiche\u003c\/i\u003e (plastic combustions), \u003ci\u003eCretti\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCellotex\u003c\/i\u003e.
