Transavantgarde

Transavantgarde - Transavanguardia

 

Transavantgarde was an art movement that emerged in the 1980s primarily in Italy. It was led by artists such as Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, and Enzo Cucchi. Transavantgarde, which translates to "beyond the avant-garde," was a reaction against the dominant conceptual and minimalist art of the time. It embraced a return to traditional and figurative art, often characterized by bold and expressive imagery, vibrant colors, and a rejection of the strict formalism of the previous decades. The movement sought to reconnect art with emotions, narratives, and human experiences.
