Giovanni Anselmo (1934-2023) Italy

Untitled (Structure that eats) (1968)

One of the key protagonists of the Italian 1960s Arte Povera movement, Giovanni Anselmo has died aged 89. Untitled: Sculpture that Eats (1968) in which a piece of lettuce fills the space between two blocks of granite, threatening the integrity of the structure as it wilts, has become one of the artworks most associated with Arte Povera, the movement theorised by curator Germano Celant as using natural and industrial materials that are ‘poor’ – that is, in opposition to the rich materials associated with art traditionally, from marble to gold leaf. Arte Povera artists like Anselmo, Jannis Kounellis and Marisa Merz have come to define postwar art in Italy.

Born in a small village just outside Turin in 1934, the artist spent the majority of his life and career in the city, where the major museum Castello di Rivoli celebrated his work with a major retrospective in 2016. He participated in the Venice Biennales of 1978, 1980 and 1990 – when he won the Golden Lion Award – as well as Documenta V (1972) and VII (1982). ... artreview.com

«Y así como el tiempo, considerado de por sí, no se dice “tiempo de algo”, sino que cuando consideramos las cosas que están en él, decimos “el tiempo de ésta o aquella cosa”, así también la suma verdad de por sí subsistente no es de ninguna cosa, sino que cuando algo es según aquella, entonces se dice “verdad o rectitud de esto”.»

Anche Anselmo, come tutte le più grandi personalità del Medioevo, parlò di libero arbitrio; che corrisponde alla possibilità di peccare. Il concetto è composto da due parole: una si rifà alla volontà (liberum) e l'altra all'intelletto (arbitrium). Dunque, i più grandi maestri, si domandavano quale delle due facoltà avesse più influenza nelle scelte dell'uomo.

Il dibattito, che sembra essersi concluso, è ancora in voga nei nostri giorni. Infatti, nell'ambito giuridico, si sente spesso parlare delle facoltà di intendere e volere e della capacità di agire; fondamentali per comprendere le responsabilità dei comportamenti umani.

🐎Anselmo, the Angel of Horses and Vigilantes🐎

Just as the label says, this here is Anselmo, a ruthless, cruel bounty hunter-esque Powers Angel who takes pride in slaying “demon scum” for money, particularly demons who make soul-stealing deals with humans.. Anselmo is typically seen in New Mexico or Arizona, searching the lonely deserts, day and night, for his next assigned kill.

Created on July 1, 1884, Anselmo from his first moments on his job, Anselmo grew to learn an important lesson out in the Wild West: “The Desert doesn’t care for you and will kill ya if you ain’t watchful. So its better off that you care for yourself and no one else”. And so, Anselmo is one of those types Who Work Alone(tm) and generally tends to unnerve most people. He is a horse. That’s the other half of his personality hhhfgfhfgfgdgdf.
