MANZONI's MERDA de ARTISTA (artist's shit)
 |
There is some irony inside this piece of shit. The idea came to Piero Manzoni from his father's comment on his art being the work of a 'shitty artist'. This was caused by the fact that his father was the owner of the factory that produced 'Manzotin' (see what I've done there?), a type of canned meat that is popular in Italy at lunchtime or for dinner. His father's comment was brought up by the fact that Piero refused to work for his factory and wanted to concentrate on his artistic 'skills'.
