Pathos, forma, memoria. Aby Warburg e il “temporale” del comprendere.

Refusing the over-refined history of art of his time, young Warburg travels in 1895 to New Mexico, visiting the American Indian pueblos. Here he discovers a dark side of our own culture, where arts turn out to be – as he writes about thirty years later in his notes - a “biological product” and knowledge shows to be deeply conncted to metamorphic behaviour.
