The Regional Archaeological Museum of Aosta is hosting an extensive retrospective dedicated to Felice Casorati from December 2, 2023 to April 7, 2024. Over one hundred works to reread the creative path of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.

From December 2, 2023 to April 7, 2024, the Regional Archaeological Museum of Aosta hosts the exhibition Felice Casorati. Painting that comes from within, curated by Alberto Fiz. Organized by the Assessorato Beni e Attività Culturali, Sistema Educativo e Politiche per le relazioni intergenerazionali, the extensive retrospective aims to offer more than one hundred works including paintings, sculptures, drawings and theatrical sketches from 1904 to 1960 with the objective of rereading the creative path of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Along the six sections of the exhibition itinerary, the fundamental aspects of his research will be analyzed, with a focus not only on painting but also on a less investigated field of research such as sculpture.

Among the many masterpieces on view are The Old Comrades (1908), Persons (1910), The Heiresses (1910), Maria Anna De Lisi (1918), Target Shooting (1919), The Two Sisters (1921), Women in a Boat (1933), and Yellow Head (1950). It will also be presented almost sixty years after his last public exhibition in 1964 Nude with Braids or Girl with Back of the Head (1930).

Along with a group of partly unpublished drawings, Sleeping Girl, ink on canvas paper, an extraordinary testimony of 1921 that represents the preparatory study for the painting of the same name that was destroyed ten years later in the fire of the Glaspalast, the Crystal Palace in Munich, will be offered. Also featured are two panels presumably dating from 1919 made by Casorati for his Turin home.
