An original investigation on the use of fire as a means of artistic creations in post-WWII Avant Garde and the way artists learned to appropriate both the destructive and generative power of fire. Six artists over six sections: Yves Klein, Alberto Burri, Arman, Jannis Kounellis, Pier Paolo Calzolari, and Claudio Parmiggiani. Fire is the protagonist and medium of an innovation that involves the transformative process of pictorial and plastic language.
