From one of Italy's most provocative and visionary artists of the late twentieth century comes Diciannove Disegni (Nineteen Drawings), a striking collection that presents nineteen original drawings by Enzo Cucchi, a towering figure of the Transavanguardia movement. Published by the celebrated Modena-based art publisher Emilio Mazzoli Editore — the very imprint that championed the Italian neo-expressionist avant-garde — this volume stands as both an intimate artistic document and a testament to Cucchi's raw, mythological visual language. Each drawing pulses with the archetypal imagery that defines Cucchi's practice: skulls, fires, fragmented landscapes, and spectral figures rendered with an urgency that blurs the boundary between the sacred and the primitive. This rare artist's book occupies a significant place in the canon of Italian post-war art publishing, capturing Cucchi at a moment of extraordinary creative intensity. His draftsmanship, unfiltered and deeply personal, reveals the foundations of a practice that would place him alongside Francesco Clemente and Sandro Chia as one of the defining voices of a generation. Notably, this copy carries a handwritten inscription and signature by the artist himself — a detail that transforms the object from a mere publication into a singular, irreplaceable artefact. Who left those words, and what do they mean to the one who received them?
