Giorgio De Chirico and Rafaello Giolli
345 GIORGIO DE CHIRICO AND RAFFAELLO GIOLLI: PAINTER AND CRITIC IN MILAN BETWEEN THE WARS AN UNPUBLISHED STORY Lorella Giudici Giorgio de Chirico and Rafaello Giolli: “one is a painter, the other a historian”,1 Giolli had pointed out to accentuate the diference, stung to the quick by statements (“just you try”2) and by the paintings that de Chirico had shown in Milan in early 1921, “pictures […] which”, the critic declared without mincing words, “are not to our taste”.3 Te artist had brought together 26 oils and 40 drawings, including juvenilia (1908- 1915) and his latest productions, for his frst solo show set up in the three small rooms of Galleria Arte,4 the basement of an electrical goods shop that Vincenzo Bucci5 more coherently and poetically rechristened the “hypogean gallery”6 and de Chirico, in a visionary manner, defned as “little underground Eden”.7 Over and above some examples of metaphysical painting, de Chirico had shown numerous copies of renaissance and classical works, mostly done at the Ufzi during his stays in Florence: a copy from Dosso Dossi and a head of Meleager (both since lost); Michelangelo’s Holy Family (“I spent six months on it, making sure to the extent of my abilities to render the aspect of Michelangelo’s work in its colour, its clear and dry impasto, in the complicated spirit of its lines and forms”8); a female fgure, in Giolli’s words “unscrupulously cut out of a Bronzino picture”,9 and a drawing with the head of Niobe, as well as his Beloved Young Lady, 1 R. -
Sarfatti and Venturi, Two Italian Art Critics in the Threads of Modern Argentinian Art
MODERNIDADE LATINA Os Italianos e os Centros do Modernismo Latino-americano Sarfatti and Venturi, Two Italian Art Critics in the Threads of Modern Argentinian Art Cristina Rossi Introduction Margherita Sarfatti and Lionello Venturi were two Italian critics who had an important role in the Argentinian art context by mid-20th Century. Venturi was only two years younger than Sarfatti and both died in 1961. In Italy, both of them promoted groups of modern artists, even though their aesthetic poetics were divergent, such as their opinions towards the official Mussolini´s politics. Our job will seek to redraw their action within the tension of the artistic field regarding the notion proposed by Pierre Bourdieu, i.e., taking into consider- ation the complex structure as a system of relations in a permanent state of dispute1. However, this paper will not review the performance of Sarfatti and Venturi towards the cultural policies in Italy, but its proposal is to reintegrate their figures – and their aesthetical and political positions – within the interplay of forces in the Argentinian rich cultural fabric, bearing in mind the strategies that were implemented by the local agents with those who they interacted with. Sarfatti and Venturi in Mussolini´s political environment Born into a Jewish Venetian family in 1883, Margherita Grassini got married to the lawyer Cesare Sarfatti and in 1909 moved to Milan, where she started her career as an art critic. Convinced that Milan could achieve a central role in the Italian culture – together with the Jewish gallerist Lino Pesaro – in 1922 Sarfatti promoted the group Novecento. -

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. -
Alberto Savinio and the "Years of Consent:" the Experience of "Colonna" (1933–34)
ITALIAN MODERN ART | ISSUE 2: Alberto Savinio ISSN 2640-8511 and the “Years of Consent:” The Experience of “Colonna” (1933–34) ALBERTO SAVINIO AND THE "YEARS OF CONSENT:" THE EXPERIENCE OF "COLONNA" (1933–34) italianmodernart.org/journal/articles/alberto-savinio-and-the-years-of-consent-the-experience- 0 of-colonna-1933-34 Lucilla Lijoi Alberto Savinio, Issue 2, July 2019 https://www.italianmodernart.org/journal/issues/alberto-savinio/----------------. - ---- Abstract This presentation considers the significant role Alberto Savinio played in the production and promotion of Italian culture during the early thirties, focusing specifically on Savinio’s founding and directing of the monthly review Colonna. Periodico di civiltà italiana. Although Colonna folded after only five issues, during its run the periodical served as a vehicle for Savinio to actively contribute to the revival of Italian culture as well as the movement around the “uomo nuovo italiano,” which was promoted by Fascism in the so-called “years of consent.” Crucial to confronting the delicate relationship of Alberto Savinio to fascism in the early thirties is the consideration of his decision to establish Colonna (figure 1), a monthly journal of art and culture that was partially in line with the cultural direction being promoted by Benito Mussolini. An important date in this history is 1933, the year in which Savinio moved to Italy with his family after several years in Paris. The Italy of the early thirties was very different from the country Savinio had left in 1926. In fact, Mussolini was pursuing the total “renovation” of the Italian people in his attempt to create “the new fascist man,” a protagonist for both the Mediterranean and Europe. -

Opere della prima metà del Novecento nelle collezioni del Museo della Permanente “Flussi d’Arte” è un progetto promosso dalla Società per le Belle Arti ed Esposizione Permanente con il supporto di Gruppo CAP, che ha l’obiettivo di diffondere la conoscenza e l’apprendimento dell’arte contemporanea sul territorio della Città metropolitana di Milano. Una mostra itinerante in alcuni comuni del territorio milanese, costituita da 33 opere del Museo che esplorano i movimenti artistici nati nella prima metà del Novecento italiano, sapientemente selezionate da Elena Pontiggia – riconosciuta storica dell’arte italiana – che ha scelto di portare all’attenzione di tutti coloro che avranno piacere di visitare questa esposizione, alcune “sorprese”, come lei stessa le definisce, opere spesso dimenticate dai critici e che invece hanno una vitalità espressiva ancora forte e attuale. A queste importanti opere, si aggiungono poi alcune fotografie significative – realizzate dal fotografo Lorenzo Maccotta dell’agenzia Contrasto – tratte dalla mostra celebrativa dei 90 anni di Gruppo CAP, che sono state esposte alla stessa Permanente e che rappresentano un viaggio attraverso le immagini attorno a Milano, seguendo il flusso di quello che è il suo vero elemento distintivo: l’acqua.

Architecture and Materials in the First Half of the 20Th Century in Italy
G. Bernardo & L. Palmero Iglesias, Int. J. of Herit. Archit., Vol. 1, No. 4 (2017) 593–607 ARCHITECTURE AND MatERIALS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY IN ItaLY G. BERNARDO1 & L. PALMERO IGLESIAS2 1Department of European and Mediterranean Cultures, University of Basilicata, Italy. 2Department of Architectural Constructions, Technical University of Valencia, Spain. ABSTRACT The architecture and the materials used in the constructions have always been the symbol of the culture and progress of a people. Each historical period can be described in its complexity through the architectural heritage. The built environment is really an extraordinary testimony of the creativity and intelligence of humankind, of its enormous possibilities but also of its limitations as well as of a certain sensitivity and world view. This paper illustrates a multidisciplinary and historical-critical study of the main architectural trends in Italy in the first half of the 20th century: from the Futurism of the early 20th century to the rationalism of the fascist period. The work is focused on the role of the architecture in the socio-economic development of a country and on the complex relation- ship between materials innovation and architecture, which originates even today the debate between modernity and tradition. The results highlight the outstanding importance in the evolution of the different ways of conceiving architecture. It can be just a Utopia as in the Futuristic architecture, a drive towards a better world which will be able to meet the growing needs of an ever-changing world, or rise to fulfil the function of science and art through the innovative use of new materials and manufacturing technologies. -
