The exhibition runs from 8 July – 6 Join us on LinkedIn September 2015 at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art in London. Comprising some 50 works, the show includes many of Pirandello’s masterpieces in this complete overview spanning his entire career. Like Lucian Freud, Fausto Pirandello’s vision of reality was raw, carnal and unflinchingly objective. Among the key works on display are Women with Salamander (1928-30), Gymnasium (c. 1934), The Staircase (1934), Drought (1936-37), Women Combing their Hair (c. 1937), The Models (1945), Through the Spectacles (1953-54) and Bathers on the Beach (c. 1961). Fausto Pirandello was born in Rome in 1899 and began to devote himself to painting immediately after the First World War. His attention to unsettling details, use of diagonal compositions and uncompromising realism meant that his style was at odds with the prevailing spirit of the ‘return to order’. He became one of the leading figures associated with the important Scuola Romana during the early 1930s, rejecting the classicism typical of the Novecento group which had dominated the art of the preceding decade. Between 1928 and 1930 Pirandello lived in Paris, where his work underwent a decisive change following his contact with the ‘Italiens de Paris’, and his imagery began to acquire an almost surreal character, despite its focus on harsh reality and use of a technique informed by the heavy textures of Cubist painting. http://wsimag.com/art/16251 -fausto -pirandello 21/06/2015 Fausto Pirandello - Wall Street International Pagina 2 di 8 Returning to Rome in early 1931 Pirandello adopted a resolutely personal artistic approach, creating enigmatic compositions which are remarkable for their spatial ambiguity, lack of readily identifiable meanings and sense of existential drama, free from any narrative elements. During the post-war years Pirandello continued along his independent course, keeping his distance from the main trends and groups that emerged in Italy at the time. Between the late 1940s and the early 1950s he developed a new style grounded in the use of broken, agitated planes and elliptic, expressionistic geometry. From the 1920s onward Pirandello participated in all of the most important Italian exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadriennale, and his work was also included in many international shows. He was a constant voice in Italy’s cultural debate, espousing a consistently modern and international outlook. The exhibition has been curated by Fabio Benzi and organised by the Estorick Collection in collaboration with the Fondazione Fausto Pirandello; the catalogue will include essays by the curator as well as Francesco Leone and Flavia Matitti, a member of the Associazione Fausto Pirandello, which has kindly supported the exhibition.

  • 69. Il Novecento (15)
    Blitz nell’arte figurativa 69. Il Novecento (15) Il linguaggio figurativo trovò maggiore spazio nell’Espressionismo, opponendosi al Dada che tanta parte ebbe, e ha tuttora, nell’arte moderna, soprattutto in versione Surrealista. Però, la figurazione adattata ai nuovi concetti si caricò di una responsabilità che appare superiore a quella dei tardi dadaisti. In particolare modo, gli Espressionisti moderni, attivi fra le due guerre mondiali e maggiormente dopo la Seconda, cercarono punti di riferimento precisi, sconosciuti ai cultori dell’onirismo. Questi ultimi hanno avuto, e hanno ancora, il pregio di presentare varie suggestioni e dunque varie possibilità di aprirsi a un reale privo di finalismo e di determinismo. La relatività delle cose non è un vicolo cieco, bensì la chance di aprire nuovi orizzonti. Come rovescio della medaglia, abbiamo spesso una sorta di resa a questo programma che, infatti, diventa un manierismo destinato all’inefficienza. Il linguaggio figurativo tradizionale è invece costretto a cercare punti di appoggio e, insieme a una specie di possibile chiusura, esso offre visioni che richiedono profonde riflessioni: magari banali anche nella consistenza, talvolta però più incisive e prolifiche di quanto costatabile e ipotizzabile. Si dimostra che la manipolazione della figura, fatta non a caso, fatta cioè non seguendo il mito del gesto, può arricchire la dinamicità dell’alfabeto usato dalle arti figurative dalla notte dei tempi. A questo punto, ispirazione Dada e rigore analitico perseguito con mezzi classici, trovano contatti, pur se solo raramente riescono a condizionarsi a vicenda. La finalità è la conoscenza possibile e probabile. Si tratta di una conoscenza nuova che chiama in causa l’intera personalità umana scaturita da esperienze pratiche, molto avanzate rispetto al passato, e da interrogativi sentimentali eterni che ora reclamano una risposta: talvolta, negli animi più sensibili e attenti, in modo disperato, per quanto mascherato da una sicurezza formale o semplicemente esecutiva.

  • Italian Painting in Between the Wars at MAC USP
    MODERNIDADE LATINA Os Italianos e os Centros do Modernismo Latino-americano Classicism, Realism, Avant-Garde: Italian Painting In Between The Wars At MAC USP Ana Gonçalves Magalhães This paper is an extended version of that1 presented during the seminar in April 2013 and aims to reevaluate certain points considered fundamental to the research conducted up to the moment on the highly significant collection of Italian painting from the 1920s/40s at MAC USP. First of all, we shall search to contextualize the relations between Italy and Brazil during the modernist period. Secondly, we will reassess the place Italian modern art occupied on the interna- tional scene between the wars and immediately after the World War II —when the collection in question was formed. Lastly, we will reconsider the works assem- bled by São Paulo’s first museum of modern art (which now belong to MAC USP). With this research we have taken up anew a front begun by the museum’s first director, Walter Zanini, who went on to publish the first systematic study on Brazilian art during the 1930s and 40s, in which he sought to draw out this relationship with the Italian artistic milieu. His book, published in 1993, came out at a time when Brazilian art historiography was in the middle of some important studies on modernism in Brazil and its relationship with the Italian artistic milieu, works such as Annateresa Fabris’ 1994 Futurismo Paulista, on how Futurism was received in Brazil, and Tadeu Chiarelli’s first articles on the relationship between the Italian Novecento and the São Paulo painters.

  • Exhibition of the Fascist Revolution (Mostra Della Rivoluzione Fascista) 1932–1934
    Exhibition of the Fascist Revolution (Mostra Della Rivoluzione Fascista) 1932–1934 Based on the 1st Decennial exhibition, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the March on Rome, this book represents the growing cult of Benito Mussolini—Il Duce—and documents a time in Italian history marked by the rise of fascism. The Fascist Party used expressions of traditional culture, such as art exhibitions, in an attempt to re-contextualize and revolutionize Italy. Mussolini required that the halls and artwork in the exhibit were to look strictly modern, exploiting the contemporaneous style of futurism.

They portray the ideals and the moral necessity for the existence of the avant-garde. “The exhibit stands like a monument on a threshold of the second decennial giving old comrades a thrilling joy and the highest reward for duty accomplished, giving new comrades, and the young a solemn precept, under the Duce.”1 Fig.

  • Nathan Flint Baker, Leavitt Hunt E Richard Morris Hunt
    BETH SAUNDERS Seguaci americani della Scuola romana di fotografia: Nathan Flint Baker, Leavitt Hunt e Richard Morris Hunt Abstract In 1851, before embarking on a journey to Egypt and the Near East, Americans Leavitt Hunt (1831-1907) and Nathan Flint Baker (1820- 1891) traveled to Rome to learn photography. There, they encountered members of the Roman School, an international group of practitioners of paper negatives. A year later, Leavitt’s brother Richard Morris Hunt (1827-1895) traveled to the same sites and collected photographs. This article explores the networks that connected them to Rome, illuminat- ing a little-known American contribution to paper photography and providing further confirmation of the influence of the Roman School on the medium’s development.
