Max Kuatty
Born in Mantova, Italy in 1930. his first artistic experiences began in Milan and Paris. He studied Art at the Academy of Brera. In 1956, he met: Pollock, Poliakoff, Riopelle, Tapies, Burri, etc. In the same period, he participated in the "French-Belgian Movement", and in the 1980's came international success.
Kuatty's works can be found in the most important Museums and Public and Private Collections all around the world.
Max Kuatty's univers corresponds to a vision of the world in the important phase of cultural transition that occurred just after WW II. He has managed safely to retain a spirit of annihilation of the superficial, and he was determined to erase all superfluous elements in order to attain a pure musical score - with very few notes and with an elementary fundamental texture. Always maintaining freshness and readiness to be open, ready to welcome the impulse of "great nature". Perhaps the future of painting itself is to maintain this link with nature Max Kuatty's idea is the simplicity and unity; it is a return to the sources of human experience and of man's perceptive experience.
He is a painter bent on informal, non-figurative abstraction. Kuatty is lyrical, in the repressed gestuality. Later, Max Kuatty begins to experiment with a new medium: wood, thus coinciding with a considerable qualitative development.
Kuatty's painting is pure because it is secret; herein lies the key to Max Kuatty the painter. Obstinately bent on the informal, non-figurative abstraction: Pierre Restany wrote about him during one of the most successful exhibitions - performance at the Centre Pompidou (Bouborgh) in Paris - where Max Kuatty presented "Nature". |
