John Latham (Livingstone, 1921-London, 2006) was one of Europe’s most fascinating artistic personalities after the Second World War. A tireless experimenter, Latham went through the decades without being part of any artistic current but exerting a profound influence on the generations that came after him, even though he remained relatively unknown to the Italian public.

Latham’s work is a provocative, poetic reflection on the nature of human knowledge, on the tools and systems with which man attempts to understand the universe and his own destiny (from science to philosophy, passing through religion) and on art as a form of intuition that is capable of crossing the boundaries between disciplines.
