A Conversation with Peter Ruta [2015] | Casa Italiana Zerilli / Marimò

Prof Ara Merjian of NYU interviews Peter Ruta about his long career. Merjian is in the Italian department and recently published the first full length study in English of DeChirico, whose influence vaguely haunts some of Ruta’s early work. Merjian’s next book will be about Pasolini.  This interview on February 2, 2105 before an audience who braved the cold out of friendship for the painter.
