For the first time in a major museum exhibition, LACMA presents Expressionism not as a distinctly German style, but as an international movement in which artists responded with various aesthetic approaches to the work of modern masters. The German side of the story has been less well known in the United States until just recently, and LACMA's groundbreaking exhibition provides visitors and scholars alike an opportunity to explore the nuances of the interrelationship between a group of artists that includes not just Van Gogh and Kandinsky, but Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Andre Derain, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and many others. Sponsored by the museum and the Historians of German and Central European Art, topics presented explore in depth the relationship between French art and Germany artists, Cubism's impact, and the impact of non-Western art on European art from this era.

  • Cartolina Serata in Piazza Maggiore
    domenica 26 giugno Piazza Maggiore, ore 21.45 dal 25 giugno Omaggio a Marlon Brando I DUE VOLTI DELLA VENDETTA al 2 luglio (One-Eyed Jacks, USA/1961) Regia: Marlon Brando. Soggetto: dal romanzo La storia di Hendry Jones di Charles 2016 Neider. Sceneggiatura: Guy Trosper, Calder Willingham. Fotografia: Charles Lang Jr. XXX edizione Montaggio: Archie Marshek. Scenografia.: Hal Pereira, J. McMillan Johnson. Musica: Hugo Friedhofer. Interpreti: Marlon Brando (Rio), Karl Malden (Dad Longworth), Pina Pellicer (Louisa), Katy Jurado (Maria), Ben Johnson (Bob Amory), Slim Pickens (Lon), Larry Duran (Modesto), Hank Worden (Doc), Rodolfo Acosta (capo dei Rurales), Timothy Carey (Howard Tetley). Produzione: Frank P. Rosenberg per Pennebaker, Inc. DCP. Durata: 141’. Versione originale con sottotitoli italiani Copia proveniente da Universal Pictures. Restaurato da Universal Studios in collaborazione con The Film Foundation. Un ringraziamento speciale a Martin Scorsese e Steven Spielberg per la loro consulenza sul restauro Introduce Margaret Bodde Primo e unico film diretto da Marlon Brando, questo originalissimo western non è solo una delle sue interpretazioni migliori e più misurate (soprattutto se si pensa che Brando aveva solitamente bisogno di registi di polso che gli impedissero di strafare), ma anche un debutto molto promettente, e, visto che fu anche la Serata promossa da sua ultima regia, uno dei migliori esempi di carriera costituita da un solo film. La produzione fu molto accidentata; la sceneggiatura fu scritta inizialmente da Rod Serling e poi da Sam Peckinpah (il che spiega alcune analogie con Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, 1973) quando a dirigere il film doveva essere Stanley Kubrick, e infine riscritta da Calder Willingham e quindi da Guy Trosper quando Brando prese in mano il film.
