From Fattori to Cartier
From Milan to Tokyo
September is the month of art and vernissage. We have already seen numerous events. And here are other exhibitions, for art, science and fashion lovers.
The Nineteenth Century in Italy is protagonist of many exhibitions. Until 2nd May it will be possible to visit the Art Gallery Moderna Ricci Oddi of Piacenza “Painting of Tuscany at the Ricci Oddi – Compared Collection”. On exhibition 40 oil paintings, all in little, constituting a private collection from Lombardy. They are exceptional works of art of the nineteenth Century in Tuscany made by the main protagonists of the Macchiaioli movement. Near the well-known masters, Giovanni Fattori, Silvestro Lega, Telemaco Signorini and Vincenzo Cabianca, stands out the group of the so-called “Italians in Paris”, Giovanni Boldini, Federico Zandomeneghi and Giuseppe De Nittis. It is acknowledged that small size formats, often realized on portable tables, were created when artists worked “en plein air”, while observing and reproducing the true directly on-site, creating a genre very demanded by collectors.
In Rancate, in the Ticino canton, in on the agenda, from 20th Septemeber through 10th January, “From Fattori to Previati: a rediscovered collection – Riccardo Molo, art collector between Switzerland and Italy” at the Art gallery Giovanni Zust. Comes back, after being hidden for 75 years, the art collection of Riccardo Molo, businees man born in Ticino, active between the Nineteenth and Twentieth Century within Ticino, Berlin, Rio de la Plata, in Argentina, and especially in Italy. Absolutely Italian is the art collection that Riccardo Molo managed to create in his villa of Balerna, throughtout the 1920s: Previati, Mosè Bianchi, Segantini, Delleani, Cabianca, Pasini, Fattori, Delbono, in a project, typical of those years, of collecting the top of every single “regional school”.
Molo’s passion for the Nineteenth century painting was expression of the general rediscover in the 1920s of the Macchiaioli and of the painting of the previous century. Moreover, taking advantage of the entry on the market of a great number of works of art by Gaetano Previati, Molo bought also few important paintings of the pointillist master, among which a preliminary version of Motherhood (1891), masterpiece in the artist’s career.
For fans of modern art, there is an event going back over the passion of a great collector and patron of arts, Francesco Martani. Here are “Classic splendours. Timeless passions at the Matilde’s court” at the Cloister of San Benedetto at San Benedetto Po from 19th September to 10th January. They have been selected works of art coming from the Italian collection of the Fondazione Ca’ La Ghironda of Zola Predosa, of the time going from the Renaissance of Bologna through three centuries of the Italian painting recalling the painting beyond the Alps.
This collection of paintings from the Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century, expresses the plurality of themes across many areas of Italy and abroad and the high quality of the selected works: Annibale Carracci, Guido Reni, il Guercino, Francesco Francia, Luca Giordano da Napoli, Giovan Battista Garulli called the Baciccio, Jan van Kessel, Anton Van Dyck are few of the artists on exhibition. The themes are various: the sacred and the profane, the still natures by Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer, the gender scenes by Todeschini, the portraits by Bernardo Strozzi and the landscapes by Peruzzini.
The Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century come back, seen from a different point of view, in the historico-scientific iconographic exhibition “Galileo, Venice and the Moon”, from 27th September through 18th October at the San Servolo Island passing from 19th October through 16th November at Palazzo Zorzi in Venice to end up from December until January in Asiago. Here is again Galileo protagonist of an important exhibition. The exhibition is one of the top moments of one of the most important assizes of this International Year of Astronomy and it goes through, physically, an itinerary that from Adriatic of Venice goes up ideally to Cima Ekar on the Asiago Plateau, that is from Galilean observations of the Moon to one of the biggest Italian telescopes of the modern astronomic research. The exhibition aimes to show, through pictures of the XVI and XVII Centuries and recent pictures, the places (few of which disappeared) visited by Galileo in Venice during those eighteen years when he was teaching at the University of Padova. Are on exhibition the drawings of the moon that Galileo made when he first discovered that the Moon is not smooth and perfect as believed for almost two thousands years. There are also the numerous maps of the Moon that throughout the Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century went through the path of evolution of the Moon cartography strictly related to the improvement of the telescope optics.
To another great genius is dedicated “Leonardo’s laboratory. The codes, the machines and the drawings” at the Castello Visconteo of Vigevano from 13th September through 5th April. Thanks to advanced technologies the public will get to know the most important codes of the Great genius and unpublished physical and digital reconstructions of extraordinary instruments like the Flying Car, the mechanic Lion, besides coming in touch with drawings and paintings presented with the HyperView technology. For the first time the visitors will be able to virtually show off, thanks to the Virtual Codex technology, the Atlantic Code, the Code of Flight and the Manuscript B by Leonardo da Vinci. Will follow, in October, “Court Splendours. Sforzas, Renaissance, the City” that will analyze the bonds between the city of Vigevano, the Sforza principality, the character of Leonardo da Vinci and the artistic testimonies all over the Lomellina area.
Obviously there are as well exhibitions dedicated to the art of today, in more and less common exhibition venues. The Courthouse of Milan becomes an unusual space for contemporary art with Justice and its symbols, exhibition combining about thirty works of art by Basil Beattie, Mitsuo Miyahara and Aldo Rota, who worked using as source of inspiration the theme of justice, dialoguing with the big masterpieces located in the structure and the big materiality of the building designed by Marcello Piacentini.
Always in Milan, the Japanese Koji Yamamoto is the object of Another Nature, from 18th September through 31st October at the Lorenzelli Arte.
The monumental works of Xavier Veilhan will be protagonists, instead, in Paris, at the Versailles Royal Palace, until 13th December. “Veilhan Versailles” presents eight creations, in bronze, sheet metal and glass fibre in the gardens and on the stairs of the palace. Besides a six-horses carriage, the statue of a naked woman, statues of contemporary architects, a giant Yuri Gagarin lying near his helmet reminds the man’s greatest adventure. Who is in the French capital can admire also the exhibition of the Louvre “Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese – Rivals in Renaissance”, with works of the three Masters of the Venecian Renaissance art.
It collects more than fifty works of eleven artists, Italian and Israeli, witnessing the artistic tendencies of the generations born between the Sixties and Eighties, “CAMPOLUNGO. The sensitive horizon of the Contemporary time”. The exhibition, planned from 15th September through 10th October, at the Complesso Vittoriano of Rome, hosts works by Valerio Berruti, Enrico T. De Paris, Shay Frisch, Federico Guida, Riccardo Gusmaroli, Min Jung Kim, Francesco Lauretta, Domingo Milella, Barbara Nahmad, Sharon Pazner and Alex Pinna.
The title refers exactly to the technical expression “campo lungo”, used for a certain type of film shot. This exhibition, originated form an idea of Vittoria Coen and by the art dealer Ermanno Tedeschi, expresses the distance on which focus the attention of the selected artists. The “campo lungo” allows to see exhibited pencil and brush, oil and acrylic, straight and curved lines not proudly adverse anymore, paper, canvas, metals, materials challenging time in paintings, installations, sculpture, pictures and videos.
Obviously there are exhibitions for fashion fans. The sculpture-clothes by Roberto Capucci can be discovered from 17th September through 13th December at the Castello Odescalchi of Bracciano with “Sovereign Elegance”. Beyond sixty the creations of the tailor, in a continuous dialogue between fashion and other forms of art like the Renaissance painting, music and theatre.
Dialogue that characterizes “The Art of Fashion” from 19th September through 10th January 2010 at the museum Boijmans van Beuningen of Rotterdam.
During the exhibition time, will be commissioned special projects to artists and designers like Viktor & Rolf, Hussein Chalayan, Walter van Beirendonck, Anna Nicole Ziesche and Naomi Filmer. Moreover, the exhibition will host also works of other artists like Dai Rees, Jana Bartak, Martin Margiela.
