 ART 384, ITALIAN RENAISSANCE ART
Renaissance Italians sought to create a new society in which belief in Christianity was tempered by the revival of concepts borrowed from the pagan culture of Classical Antiquity.
In art the Italian Renaissance broke away from the hieratic formalism characteristic of the Medieval styles of European art, and sought to imitate nature, spurred on by the example of Classical art.
For example, the student should learn why the Italians of the Renaissance evolved a naturalistic style which reinterpreted the naturalism of Classical art, and why their society rejected the conceptual style of the Middle Ages which allowed a far more obvious expression of spiritual values.

 Italian art film
Postwar Italian cinema, Restivo argues, was profoundly connected to both to the processes of political and economic re-organisation that re-constructed the Italian nation into the Italy that we see today and to the larger and more "invisible"processes which marked the spread and transformation of global capitalism into postmodern consumerism.
Meanwhile, as the economic miracle gained momentum, Italy, both in terms of imagined representation and in terms of physical space, was being radically refashioned by processes connected with the globalisation of consumer capitalism and the postmodernism that accompanied it.
His working thesis, announced in the very first pages of the book, is that Italian postwar cinema was so imbricated with the rapid spread of consumer capitalism and the consequent radical social transformations from pre- to post-modernity that it can serve as a paradigm for the cinemas of other nations undergoing their own "economic miracle".

One characteristic of Italian Deco is "bold typography and streamlined imagery." The images, especially in books and posters, resemble Russian Constructivism in their layouts, which break out of the traditional grid.
Italian Art Deco was strongly influenced by Futurism and Fascism.
The authors note that, "In their reverence for speed the Futurists imbued the automobile with the power of a religious icon, devoting poems, paintings and graphics to it." They also note that, in the 1920's, Fiat was Europe's largest auto maker, and the first to open a special advertising department.
