Visual Poetry : Quinto Martini's Interpretations of the Divine Comedy

Visual Poetry presented the work of Tuscan artist and writer Quinto Martini (1908-1990). Over a period of more than twenty years, from the mid-1950s onwards, Martini’s fascination with Dante’s masterpiece led him to create visual interpretations for each canto of the poem’s three books. Visual Poetry selected sculptures, paintings and lithographs from this collection and presented them (some for the first time) in conjunction with their preparatory drawings, focusing on Martini’s process of translation from Dante’s words.
