This dissertation focuses on the function and the phenomenology of the Italian Trans-avantgarde’s frame-works. Such evaluation has been performed considering the interesting role given to the frame-work or to any elements laying around the picture which have revised the figure in abstract or fragmentary terms within the works of the group both formed and thought by the critic Achille Bonito Oliva in 1979. Chia, Clemente, Cucchi, De Maria and Paladino have come back to the picture and re-used the picture-frame within their post-modern context of a return towards the figurative language and the painting skill. Thanks to a wide range of pictures, our research shows the different ways and the contrasting ideas according to each Trans-avantgarde artist’s use of the frame-work within his works. To support our research, a deep historical background on the frame-work has been taken into account. This historical approach has been divided into three parts. The first part shows the earliest development of the frame-work starting from 3000 B.C. to XVIII century. The second part, more detailed than the previous one, focuses on the important theme of the “picture-frame” in some artists’ works of the XIX and XX centuries. The third part is about the new aspects of the “frame-work” in the second half of the XIX century that involves the Abstract Expressionism, the New Dada, the Pop Art and other conceptual tendencies of the century to which the Trans-avangardists seem to be linked. On the importance of the return to the frame-work by the Trans-avantgarde, the theorist of the Italian movement Bonito Oliva has given his own idea in an exclusive interview with me. Within the research, this interview has represented a precious possibility to deep-in the main topic. Two more chapters dedicated to some particular case study have been written in the final part of our research. The first chapter is about two Italian private collections and their focus on the relationship between a contemporary work of art framed within an old frame-work; the second chapter stresses the artistic production of an Austrian author Herbert Szusich whose works are frame-works.
La ricerca analizza funzione e fenomenologia della cornice nelle opere della Transavanguardia italiana. Il tema nasce dall’osservazione del rilevante ruolo svolto dalla cornice, o da motivi posti al limite della tela che ne rielaborano in termini più astratti o frammentari la figura, nei dipinti del gruppo formato e teorizzato dal critico d’arte Achille Bonito Oliva nel 1979. Chia, Clemente, Cucchi, De Maria e Paladino tornano al quadro e dunque alla “cornice” nel contesto post-modern di un recupero del linguaggio figurativo e della pratica pittorica. La ricerca mostra con ampiezza di documentazione fotografica i diversi modi e le diverse idee secondo cui i transavanguardisti includono nuovamente la cornice all’interno delle loro opere. A sostegno della ricerca si è svolta una ricognizione storica sulla cornice, articolata in tre parti. La prima, dallo sviluppo più rapido, parte dal primo esempio di cornice che risale al 3000 a.C. e giunge fino al XVIII secolo. La seconda, più particolareggiata, ha per oggetto esempi significativi sul tema “cornice del dipinto” in opere di importanti artisti a cavallo tra XIX e XX secolo. La terza affronta i nuovi aspetti in cui la “cornice” si presenta alla metà del novecento con l’Espressionismo Astratto, il New Dada, la Pop Art e le tendenze concettuali, aspetti ai quali i transavanguardisti appaiono legati. Sull’importanza del recupero transavanguardista della cornice ha svolto una riflessione lo stesso teorico del movimento, Achille Bonito Oliva, in un colloquio avuto con me che costituisce, nell’ambito della ricerca, un’occasione preziosa di approfondimento. Concludono questo studio due capitoli dedicati a casi di attenzione particolare attribuita alla cornice. Il primo, relativo a due collezioni private italiane, nelle quali è curato il rapporto tra la cornice antica e l’opera contemporanea; il secondo, nel quale si presenta l’attività artistica dell’austriaco Herbert Szusich, le cui opere consistono in cornici.

Abstract
This dissertation focuses on the function and the phenomenology of the Italian Trans-avantgarde’s frame-works. Such evaluation has been performed considering the interesting role given to the frame-work or to any elements laying around the picture which have revised the figure in abstract or fragmentary terms within the works of the group both formed and thought by the critic Achille Bonito Oliva in 1979. Chia, Clemente, Cucchi, De Maria and Paladino have come back to the picture and re-used the picture-frame within their post-modern context of a return towards the figurative language and the painting skill. Thanks to a wide range of pictures, our research shows the different ways and the contrasting ideas according to each Trans-avantgarde artist’s use of the frame-work within his works. To support our research, a deep historical background on the frame-work has been taken into account. This historical approach has been divided into three parts. The first part shows the earliest development of the frame-work starting from 3000 B.C. to XVIII century.
