The childlike spontaneity of Silvia Mei
Abstract
The interview, accompanied by an introduction and a selection of works, aims to identify the focal points of the poetics and pictorial production of the Sardinian artist Silvia Mei. The author who edited the interview also wanted to highlight the points of contact between the proposed works and a strand of twentieth-century modernist research that find a source of inspiration in children's drawings.
