Michelangelo Pistoletto is an influential Italian artist known for his role in the 1960s Arte Povera movement, which emphasized using everyday materials to challenge traditional art. He is famous for his mirrored paintings and sculptures that reflect the viewer's image, inviting interaction and self-reflection. Pistoletto's work often explores themes of identity, society, and the relationship between viewer and artwork.
