Valori Plastici

Valori Plastici (Eng. "Pictorial values") is the title of an Italian art magazine that appeared in Rome from 1918 to 1922 in Italian and partly in French. Founded by Mario and Edita Broglio , its content was mainly shaped by Carlo Carrà , who in his contributions propagated a return to the ideals of a classical aesthetic and called for a reconnection with national artistic traditions. From its second edition onwards, the magazine addressed an international readership and quickly became the journalistic mouthpiece of the “ Retour á l'ordre ” (Eng. “Return to Order”), which has been spreading across Europe since the end of the First World War forming aesthetic movement, which in response to abstraction tendencies in painting and sculpture called for a return to objectivity and figuration in the neo-classical conception.
