Macerata dedicates a retrospective to futurist Tullio Crali and the infinite spaces of heaven and earth

The exhibition halls of the Civic Museums of Palazzo Buonaccorsi in Macerata will host from May 7 to August 30, 2021 the retrospective Tullio Crali. Between Heaven and Earth, promoted by the Municipality of Macerata and Macerata Musei in collaboration with the Cultural Association FUTURCRALI and the support of the Marche Region.

Already clear in the title are the boundless horizons on which the artist’s research focuses: sky and earth.

Born in Zara in 1910, Tullio Crali lived most of his existence between Friuli and Milan and discovered Futurism as a young student: the artistic movement influenced his early work and he officially joined it in 1929. Following his first pioneering experiences in flight, Crali joined theFuturist Aeropainting, which he had the opportunity to study in depth during his brief stay in Macerata, between the spring and summer of 1943, with the well-established “Gruppo futurista marchigiano Boccioni-Tano” that had launched the city into the panorama of international Futurism. From 1966 until his death the artist lived in Milan, also making long stays abroad, including in Paris and Cairo, but he always remained very attached, also due to family events, to Macerata where, by his will, he is buried and his archives are still preserved.

In addition to unpublished works such as diaries, photos and archival materials, the retrospective a selection of about forty works considered among the most iconic of his production, from those that celebrate aerial evolutions in the infinite spaces of the sky through aeropainting to Sassintesi, later works that recall the desert, the nakedness of matter and conclude the cycle of his research in the infinite space of reflection and meditation.
