“Paintings nowadays tend to grow and swell. We are generally less interested in colours than in the resounding force of matter. Painting thus becomes more and more similar to sculpture. In Crippa’s oeuvre they have merged [...]. What is striking about Crippa, both in his painting and his works with cork, iron, steel, bronze or silver, is the ruthlessness of his universe. His world is in thrall to barbarian mythologies. It is populated by monstrous deities.”
(Giorgio Kaisserlian, “Roberto Crippa artista d’avanguardia”, Rotosei, Milan, 29 April 1960)
