Painting
With his use of unconventional materials and daring artistic processes, Alberto Burri has come to be regarded as one of the most seminal and influential artists of the 20th century. His works employing burlap sacks, commonly referred to as sacchi, are perhaps the most recognizable of his oeuvre, and are considered one of the key developments in modern art.
