Poetry and light: Mirò!

A great show for those who love modern art and, in particular, Surrealism: JoanMiro!

And I, who I am an artist and I love art, I suggest that you could go see the exhibition in which, among other masterpieces, you may admire: Femme dans la rue, Untitled,Joan Miro …

In a beautiful environment, an extraordinary Renaissance example,the “Chiostro del Bramante”, are exposed 80 works, including paintings and pottery, watercolors and bronzes, with particular attention to works produced in the period in which Miró lived in Mallorca.

Also you can see objects, brushes and tools used by this eclectic artist.

The San Luca Academy of fine Arts

Palazzo Carpegna, is an historic building, right next to Fontana di Trevi, that is worth a visit for its history and superb collections of works of art.  In the collection you can see Domenichino, Guido Reni, Canova…

Inside the Palace of 1500, transformed and enlarged by Francesco Borromini, is based, The Accademia  di San Luca, structured into three categories: painting, sculpture and architecture, aimed at promoting the fine arts.

The highest office of the Accademia di San Luca, was represented by a Prince,until 1812, presiding over 180 National and Foreign Academicians.

In short, a melting pot of culture!

From the earliest statutes prescribed that each Academic, at the time the nomination, would leave as gift, a sample of his art.

Arts and extravagance often go together.

Arts and extravagance often go together.
Not always, sometimes, when the end is only the search of wonder, then, even if the artwork can be interesting, certainly not remain in history.

Instead, when the genius is revealed, it remains recognizable, unique and distinguishable.

This was Dali.

An eccentric with a great imagination, known as a painter, but less as a writer, catalytic of the Vanguards currents, illustrator, designer and filmmaker, set designer and passionate about science.

In this exhibition, Italy is the leitmotif of all exhibited works.

Through photographs, letters, drawings, documents, objects you can follow in his travels to Italy, and his artistic collaborations meetings, such as with the filmmaker  Luchino Visconti.
