Mirella Bentivoglio
Mirella Bentivoglio is an Italian painter, sculptor and poet, representative of visual concrete poetry.
She was trained as an art historian and artist in Italy, Switzerland and England, and in the 1960s she joined the concrete poetry movement and began to use elements of the alphabet to create expressive images. A few years later, Bentivoglio became increasingly interested in sculpture, turning letters into three-dimensional forms. In many of her later works, two images, a book and an egg, began to recur.
