The prestigious Magnani Rocca
Foundation near Parma is to host a retrospective dedicated to
the Tuscan artist Gino Severini on the 50th anniversary of his
death.
The exhibition running from March 19 to July 3 curated by
Daniela Fonti and Stefano Roffi takes the visitor on a journey
through the various periods of the artist's production from the
Divisionism of his early years to Futurism and Cubism and then
his Neo-Classicism in later life.
It opens with Severini's futurist masterpiece The
Articulated Dancer of 1915 and Still Life with Musical
Instruments, painted in the first half of the 1940s and acquired
by foundation founder Luigi Magnani.
These will be accompanied by a further 100 or so paintings
and preparatory studies, including 25 works that have never been
shown before in Italy.
There is also a section dedicated to the artist's mural
paintings, including his decoration of the Maison Rosenberg in
Paris (1928).
