Italian 1930s neo-romantic and expressionist painting on display at Carispezia Foundation

From December 4, 2022 to April 2, 2023, Fondazione Carispezia will host the exhibition The Body of Color in its exhibition spaces in La Spezia. Italian Neo-Romantic and Expressionist Painting in the 1930s. Works from the Giuseppe Iannaccone Collection, curated by Giuseppe Iannaccone Collection. The protagonists of this new exhibition will be the artists who are not afraid of being imprisoned, excluded and relegated in order to give a clear, intimate and real reading of their own experience; revolutionary artists of feeling, themes and color.

The exhibition will take place in six rooms, without following a chronological or geographical sequence, but dealing with intimate and universal themes, such as war, inequality, and social degeneration, intended to bring attention to the intensity of the historical moment and the artists’ most hidden feelings.

The artists involved are Afro, Arnaldo Badodi, Renato Birolli, Luigi Broggini, Bruno Cassinari, Gigi Chessa, Filippo de Pisis, Francesco De Rocchi, Angelo Del Bon, Lucio Fontana, Renato Guttuso, Carlo Levi, Umberto Lilloni, Mario Mafai, Francesco Menzio, Giuseppe Migneco, Ennio Morlotti, Enrico Paolucci, Fausto Pirandello, Antonietta Raphaël, Ottone Rosai, Aligi Sassu, Scipione, Fiorenzo Tomea, Ernesto Treccani, Italo Valenti, Emilio Vedova, and Alberto Ziveri.

Color is the central element of the works on display, the programmatic and spiritual manifesto of anew art, the expressive medium of the individual artists but also the instrument of dialogue between them: mellow and energetic or candid and light, color gives the opportunity to enter the stories of the subjects portrayed, becoming body, presence and matter.
