Rino Pizzi Introduces ArtFiction: 10 Fictional Modernists from Texas

ArtFiction is a new project by Rino Pizzi, in collaboration with ten writers, ten visual artists, and ten actors/performers. The group is developing ten fictional modernist visual artists and performers working in Texas between the 1940s and the 1980s.
