Ccm 27x29, pp. 280 non numerate Brossura (wrappers) Ottimo (Fine)Vitalità del negativo nell'arte italiana 1960/70 was an epic exhibition, which transformed the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in 1970 into a gigantic multimedia container. The title referred to the idea of art as a cast ('negative') of the world, which becomes an element in the modification of reality; the most important Italian artists of the time participated. Among the photographers who documented the exhibition, the presence of Ugo Mulas is particularly important because this exhibition was his last encounter with the Italian avant-garde of the 1960s (Mulas died in 1973). His reportage on 'Vitality of the Negative' illustrates the ultimate evolution of his work, when the dialogue with artists became a reflection on the photographic medium and its function as a document, where the photography of art is an analysis of photography itself.
