LANDSCAPES. Nature and City
9 February 2024 @ 10:00 - 14 April 2024 @ 19:00
The Art Gallery Pirra will be closed from Friday afternoon 29 March to Monday 1 April 2024.
The landscape is a thematic path that can be expressed in many ways, sometimes antithetical, enhancing, for example, uncontaminated nature or the urban context, and it has been chosen for the exhibition precisely for its “vagueness”, to allow us , as we often love to do, to wander freely among many of our artists, often distant in terms of era or training.
Among the Italian works, a beautiful view from the heights of Turin by Enrico Reycend (1855 – 1928) and a futurist landscape by Tato (1896 – 1974) stand out. Other Turin surroundings and a view of Salerno by Edgardo Corbelli (1918 – 1989) will be exhibited, as well as a Venice and a riverside in Paris by the Lombards Angelo Del Bon (1898 – 1952) and Cesare Breveglieri (1902 – 1948, and the “not places” by Fernando Farulli, Florentine painter (1923 – 1997; Venice Biennale in 1952). The French authors are represented by Henry Biva (1848 – 1928), with the work Paysage, exhibited in various institutional exhibitions on Impressionism, including, the most recent, Impressionists. Between dream and color at the Mastio della Cittadella in Turin in 2023, by Henry Maurice Cahours (1889-1974), with his enchanting seascapes between Brittany and Normandy, and by the iconic Dora Maar (1907-1997), with her abstract landscapes . Also on display is the German Ernst Liebermann (1869 – 1960), with an evocative, almost fairy-tale – not surprisingly, having also been an illustrator of fairy tales, including those of the Brothers Grimm – nocturnal landscape, and the Russian artists of the Moscow and Saint Petersburg schools, who best express in the landscape the deep connection with the motherland, as well as the daily experience made up of urban glimpses.
