"Wouldn't it be better to liberate the surface? Wouldn't it be better to understand that art history is not the history of the 'painters', but the history of discoverers renovators? Dadamaino went past this 'question of painting'. Her work was inspired by other dimensions. Her paintings sail under the new flag of a new world carrying a load of new meaning. They don't settle with saying old things 'in a new way'. They say new things."
Piero Manzoni, 1961
