Alberto Burri (12 March 1915 – 13 February 1995), Italian pronunciation: [al'b?rto bu'ri]; was an Italian painter, sculptor and physician.
He is one of the most important post-war Italian artists of Contemporary art and artistic movements like Neo-Dada, Nouveau réalisme, postminimalism and Arte Povera.In one of his very rare statements, Burri claimed that the critics' words, as well as his own, were of no use in offering a description of his artworks, affirming that its only real key strength was the formal balance that poor and industrial materials were surprisingly able to give.
