BRANDI, Cesare, Scritti sull'arte contemporanea. I. II. Einaudi Editore, Torino, 1976/79. 2 vols. XIII,429;XI,170p. Paperback.'Questo libro contiene gli scritti che Cesare Brandi ha dedicato all'arte contemporanea dal 1932 ad oggi, comprese le monografie su Picasso, Morandi e Burri. In questo itnerario passano quasi tutti i nomi piú importantie dell'arte moderna, in una prosa che, pur nell'ambito piú rigorosi della critica, ha speso l'afflato della poesia. È insomma il lavoro di un critico e scrittore che aggredisce appassionatamente il suo soggettto, alla luce d'una riflessione pungente sempre attuale e storicamente centrata. (...) (SAGGI, 1979, pp. XIV.429) Dopo il primo volume (...) questo secondo volume di scritti concentrata prevalentemente l'attenzione sull'opera di quatro artisit italiani, Burri, Afro, Guttose e Manzú rappresentano non soltanto alcuni dei momenti nodali della nostra cultura figurativa ma testimoniano anche di una continuità di lavoro e di evoluzione della ricerca, che li rende particolarmente adatti ad un'analisi cosí articolata ed approfondita qual è quella di Brandi. De lresto la caratteristica piú evidente di questi scritti è proprio quella di seguite nell'arco di tempo l'attività di un artista, constituendo non saltanto una guida preziosa per il pubblico ma anche un proficuo punto di riferimento continuato per l'artista stesso.'
