Guglielmo Achille Cavellini to completion of the Centenary (1914-2014) had expressed a desire to implement some sort of posthumous celebration as the completion of one of his major artistic work focused sull'Autostoricizzazione . " For this important occasion were invited 75 international artists from different nationalities to share this special event. For several decades GAC in Italy was opposed as a "rich eccentric streak of exhibitionism ," including not only because it was considered a major collector of contemporary art and accordingly placed by the official critics in complete isolation. Since 1970 , he first tried to " undermine " the official art system and to make their voices heard by implementing appropriate "noise " in the system offering its presence as a genuine creative moment . Art, after being relegated for a long time indoors ideas , with the autostoricizzazione " 1971 GAC became liberation , opening of borders cultural art that was integrated in life. In addition , sharing and embracing at the same time more search fields transverse and alternative proposals of the official culture , painting, visual poetry , the art of behavior to Body Art was positioned themselves on the edge of a system, in a free zone, in a suburb border practicable , dismantling in one fell swoop a traditional practice that he preferred the repetitive production of the artist clearly identifiable at the complete service of the art market . Thus, a practice that was less than the market and its strict rules imposed by a " hidden and arrogant" that actually holds hostage the artist and thus represses the production of art and creativity. Artist somewhat difficult to classify the different practices used for , but definitely the protagonist overcoming cross a traditional logic Today, after a few decades of waiting and reflection Guglielmo Achille Cavellini is a brilliant and multi-faceted character . He lived contemporary art after World War II until 1990, the year of his death, as maverick , said: " I ​​prefer to live my adventure into the future , rather than having to get bogged down in the tangled jungle of art" by artist not conditioned by schemes and taxation. It's not been a matter of simple elegance and pure style but a glossy illuminated operation that highlighted and brought to light the problems and contradictions of a cultural system that leaves nothing to chance and that is almost always the work and the ' artist as a mere commodity.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY of William Achille Cavellini (GAC)

 

GAC ( Guglielmo Achille Cavellini ) was an important scholar and collector of abstract art European Union. Since the mid- 40s begins with drawings and portraits. In '60, he devoted himself instead to experimentation : some examples of his work are often linked to quotes , real elaboration of famous works that make it a genuine actor in the staging of art. GAC puts into practice his theory dell'autostoricizzazione : the do it yourself build around in the halo of success, putting aside the canonical process that the system uses for this purpose. It is not an act of self-representation megalomaniac , but the triggering of an alternative procedure : a revolution in the communication arts. Andy Warhol begins to retract Cavellini , and the wizards GAC pays tribute to Andy with the stamp " The Marilyn Warhol " (1984) . The use of recovered materials ( objects assembled in the wood inlays in carbon ) , is the instrument of his work. Theatres and postage stamps were born artist through which it is paid tribute to the geniuses of painting: Picasso, Léger , Matisse , Braque was born and , even , the love of Mail Art, free and democratic movement that allows GAC to have contact and comparisons with many important artists scattered all over the planet.
