Description
In 1966 Umberto Buscioni joined officially the group of young artists, to whom the critic Cesare Vivaldi attributed the name 'Scuola di Pistoia'. Roberto Barni (Pistoia 1939), Gianni Ruffi (Florence 1938) e Adolfo Natalini (Pistoia 1941) were already part of it. In the Pop environment of the 1960s, that in Italy saw the affirmation of emerging centers like Rome, Milan and Turin, Pistoia assumed an original freedom from the american models and a propositive connotation in the path of the history of contemporary art. The artwork "Aiuto! le bottiglie" belongs to this phase, that would end in 1969. Each member of the 'Scuola di Pistoia' followed then an autonomous artistic path.
