Mario Sironi (1885 - 1961) |
These – in part less –
renowned works of Sironi are at the centre of a new exhibition in Chieti at the
historical Palazzo de’ Mayo, which will start on 22nd February and can be
visited till end of May 2014. Supported by S.E.T and Fondazione
Chieti, the curator Elena Pontiggia gathers more than 50 works of artists such
as Balla, Carrà, Léger, Grosz and Dix and tries so to shed light on the
dramatic experience of the WWI, on the one hand, and to depict the Italian and
European artistic spirit that influenced the key figure of the exhibition,
Sironi. For the first time the graphic and pictorial output of the Italian
Futurist artist during the time-span 1915-1918 will be analyzed in details,
without neglecting some of his most important works of the 1920s.
