Modern art

Artista e scrittrice, Bona Tibertelli de Mandiargues (Roma, 1926 - Parigi, 2000) è una delle protagoniste del Surrealismo nella sua declinazione al femminile, oggi finalmente al centro dell’attenzione di critica e pubblico.

Il nome di Giorgio Soavi (1923-2008) è sinonimo dello stile Olivetti. Intellettuale poliedrico, scrittore e fine conoscitore delle arti grafiche è stato anche un intelligente collezionista di opere d’arte. I quadri - ha confidato in un suo libro del 1993 - si acquistano per poterne scrivere.

Nessun artista aveva avuto finora un catalogo così approfondito. La solitudine dei segni è il terzo dei fascicoli finora editi del Catalogo ragionato delle opere di Giorgio de Chirico, un progetto editoriale di ampio respiro che mira a ricostruire un corpus sicuro di opere riferibili a Giorgio de Chirico dal 1908 al 1943.

"Postwar and Contemporary Art. 1946 to the Present" is the second volume of the general catalog devoted to The Basil & Elise Goulandris Collection.

Il catalogo documenta la terza mostra realizzata dal Museo Civico Garda di Ivrea nell'ambito del ciclo "Olivetti e la cultura nell'impresa responsabile", concepito per far conoscere al grande pubblico un patrimonio di opere d'arte, fotografie, filmati e documenti commissionati dalla società Olivetti...

The focus of second catalogue is the Belgian artist Folon, as a paradigmatic example of the relationships between Olivetti and contemporary artists. Folon illustrated the first desk agenda of 1969 for Olivetti, two coffee-table books in the 1970s and a calendar. He worked extensively for the company...

The enchanted realism of an artist

Gianfilippo Usellini (Milan, 1903 - Arona, 1971) attended the Brera Academy where, from 1960 onwards, he taught composition. Immersed in the climate of the 20th century, he conceived a subtly ironic language blending suggestions from Metaphysical painting with the stylistic hallmarks of the 15th century

A history of the painter of angels

One of the foremost exponents of post-war Milanese artistic tendencies

The artist who was “there and not there” in the post-war history of art

Mario Davico (1920-2010) was a painter whose worth was recognised by the Italian (Art Club exhibitions, sustained presence at the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadriennale, Awards, etc.) and international world of art (exhibitions in France and other European countries, in the US, Japan, Australia) from the late 1940s to the mid 1960s.

Bagutta's treasure

Since it opened, in 1924, Trattoria Bagutta has been one of the best-loved spots of Milanese artists; a choice influenced by its downtown position, the simple and reasonably priced fare, and the innate bonhomie of its founder, “sor Pepori”, who looked kindly upon that small gathering of penniless, but undoubtedly talented, youths.
