Salerno dedicated to the anniversary of the centenary of William Achilles
Cavellini . There are 73 works by as many important international authors who
wished to be present at this special occasion chosen by the artist from Brescia.
Guglielmo Achille Cavellini to completion of the
Centenary (1914-2014) had expressed a desire to implement some sort of
posthumous celebration as the completion of one of his major artistic work
focused sull'Autostoricizzazione . " For this important occasion were
invited 75 international artists from different nationalities to share this
special event. For several decades GAC in Italy was opposed as a "rich
eccentric streak of exhibitionism ," including not only because it was
considered a major collector of contemporary art and accordingly placed by the
official critics in complete isolation. Since 1970 , he first tried to "
undermine " the official art system and to make their voices heard by
implementing appropriate "noise " in the system offering its presence
as a genuine creative moment . Art, after being relegated for a long time
indoors ideas , with the autostoricizzazione " 1971 GAC became liberation
, opening of borders cultural art that was integrated in life. In addition ,
sharing and embracing at the same time more search fields transverse and
alternative proposals of the official culture , painting, visual poetry , the
art of behavior to Body Art was positioned themselves on the edge of a system,
in a free zone, in a suburb border practicable , dismantling in one fell swoop
a traditional practice that he preferred the repetitive production of the
artist clearly identifiable at the complete service of the art market . Thus, a
practice that was less than the market and its strict rules imposed by a "
hidden and arrogant" that actually holds hostage the artist and thus
represses the production of art and creativity. Artist somewhat difficult to
classify the different practices used for , but definitely the protagonist
overcoming cross a traditional logic Today, after a few decades of waiting and
reflection Guglielmo Achille Cavellini is a brilliant and multi-faceted
character . He lived contemporary art after World War II until 1990, the year
of his death, as maverick , said: " I prefer to live my adventure into
the future , rather than having to get bogged down in the tangled jungle of
art" by artist not conditioned by schemes and taxation. It's not been a
matter of simple elegance and pure style but a glossy illuminated operation
that highlighted and brought to light the problems and contradictions of a
cultural system that leaves nothing to chance and that is almost always the
work and the ' artist as a mere commodity.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY of
William Achille Cavellini (GAC)
GAC ( Guglielmo Achille Cavellini ) was an
important scholar and collector of abstract art European Union. Since the mid-
40s begins with drawings and portraits. In '60, he devoted himself instead to
experimentation : some examples of his work are often linked to quotes , real elaboration
of famous works that make it a genuine actor in the staging of art. GAC puts
into practice his theory dell'autostoricizzazione : the do it yourself build
around in the halo of success, putting aside the canonical process that the
system uses for this purpose. It is not an act of self-representation
megalomaniac , but the triggering of an alternative procedure : a revolution in
the communication arts. Andy Warhol begins to retract Cavellini , and the
wizards GAC pays tribute to Andy with the stamp " The Marilyn Warhol
" (1984) . The use of recovered materials ( objects assembled in the wood
inlays in carbon ) , is the instrument of his work. Theatres and postage stamps
were born artist through which it is paid tribute to the geniuses of painting:
Picasso, Léger , Matisse , Braque was born and , even , the love of Mail Art,
free and democratic movement that allows GAC to have contact and comparisons
with many important artists scattered all over the planet.
