The Transavantgarde essentially refers to the Neo-Expressionism movement in Italy. The movement launched in the late 1970s and generally refers to artworks, in traditional media (paintings and sculptures), with eclectic and apolitical imagery. Several Transavantgarde artists are influenced by themes like history, popular culture and non-conventional art.
Renowned artists of this movement have included: Sandro CHIA, Francesco CLEMENTE, Enzo CUCCHI, Nicola DE MARIA, Mimmo PALADINO, and Remo SALVADORI.
