Clemen Parrocchetti (Languages: French/English)

This monograph presents the work of Clemen Parrocchetti (1923–2016), a non-conformist artist of the 20th century who explored the complexities of the female experience, emotional relationships and sexuality. Over a hundred works, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, tapestries and archival materials, shed light on an artist who remains little known, closely associated with Italian feminism and the creator of an original, provocative and authentic artistic language. From her early exuberant canvases to objects of female culture, from installations and tapestries to the eco-feminist works of the 1990s, Parrocchetti’s work demonstrates a constant aesthetic and political exploration.

Through the dialogue between art and activism, the works transform needle, thread, fabrics and everyday materials into instruments of rebellion, denouncing the subordination of women and patriarchy. Documents, collective works and abstract pieces bear witness to the desire to create an autonomous and free language, capable of combining aesthetics, irony and social critique.
