Carla Lonzi is the missing voice in Italian art history and art criticism in general. Working in the hyper-masculine world of Italian art in the 1960s, many of Lonzi's ideas, about the work of women and the differences between a mainstream and a feminist approach to making work were absorbed into the larger culture; the roots of that thinking are found in 'Self-portrait'. This translation into English is overdue.The work is a forgotten classic of modern art history, feminist studies, and experimental writing. 'Self-portrait' transforms traditional conceptions of linear art historical thinking, reimagines the role of the critic, as well as the role of women in the world of art. 'Self-portriat' was Lonzi's last book to focus on artists before she dedicated herself to political feminism. Art remained an important part of Lonzi's approach to feminist activism, she saw "creativity as a mode of self-emancipation" and this book enables readers to observe that process at work through the detailed and profound discussions that come out through Lonzi's commitment.An insider's view into the early careers of many prominent Italian artists: Accardi, Alviani, Castellani, Consagra, Fabro, Fontana, Kounellis, Nigro, Paolini, Pascali, Rotella, Fontana, Scarpitta, Turcato, and Twombly. A polyphonic "love letter" to art and artists, Lonzi assembles a dialogue out of four years (1965-69) of conversation.

Self-Portrait

The life and work of Carla Lonzi (1931–1982) is inseparable from the cultural, political, and social history of Italy in the decades following the Second World War; she occupies a singular position, which today merits re-evaluation.A reputed art critic of the 1960s artistic scene, both friend and collaborator of such figures as Carla Accardi, Luciano Fabro, and Jannis Kounellis, she wrote Autoportrait in 1969, a 'love letter' to the artists and to creation, but also a farewell chorus to art criticism and the art world. The following year she founded Rivolta Femminile, an active feminist collective, thus becoming the central figure of Italian feminism.This publication of Autoportrait (translated into French for the first time), is accompanied by a foreword, and a critical and biographical structure by art historian Giovanni Zapperi, showing the singularity of Carla Lonzi' s project.Autoportrait is an experimental attempt to reinvent art criticism thanks to a fragmentary discourse and an iconography in which reproductions of works mix with intimate images.French text.
