He documented Sicilian agricultural workers and market scenes and became a vital catalyst for the exchanges between American and Italian art as the Rome correspondent for \u003cEM\u003eART News.\u003c\/EM\u003e His iconic portraits refer to such artists as Alberto Burri, Alexander Calder, and Willem de Kooning; art world luminaries like Leo Castelli and Peggy Guggenheim; and writers such as Iris Origo or Evelyn Waugh. Reasserting Rome as a cosmopolitan cultural laboratory during the postwar period, Gendel reveals affinities with documentary photography and Neorealist Italian cinema filtered through his Surrealist origins.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Museo Carlo Bilotti, Rome, October 5, 2011–January 8, 2012 | American Academy in Rome, October 19–November 30, 2011\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874815799560,"sku":"9783775732246","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775732246_bff89403-6ce2-4cd7-bb63-85d9e9ae0879.jpg?v=1744118642","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16992-milton-gendel","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
