Anthony Molino's 'Oltre la tela' Explores Art and Psyche Through Seven Conversations

So, Anthony Molino, who’s a psychoanalyst and a curator, just put out a new book called 'Oltre la tela. Conversazioni sulla pittura' through Edizioni Mondo Nuovo in Pescara in 2021. It includes seven conversations with a mix of Italian and international artists like Marco Stefanucci, Ignazio Schifano, and Claudia Alessi, among others. His work draws inspiration from Carla Lonzi’s 1969 book 'Autoritratto,' which changed how we think about art criticism by letting artists speak about their work in relation to their culture. Molino also previously gathered discussions with psychoanalysts and anthropologists. The book is rich with images of the artists' pieces and digs into the idea of 'originario–generativo,' looking at how their art ties to their personal experiences.
