TWO WORKS BY ANTONIO CANOVA RETURN TO THEIR FORMER GLORY

Two works by Antonio Canova are returning to their former glory.
These are two original plaster casts by the sculptor, the property of Assicurazioni Generali, of large dimensions (141 x 280 cm), depicting two very different subjects: one created by the artist between 1787 and 1790, depicting “The Death of Priam”; the second, created later, depicting “The Dance of the Sons of Alcinoo”.

Both originally belonging to the Albrizzi Collection, they will be on public display in Treviso until 25 September 2022 and should be added to the list of works by Canova that are a must-see.

HYPERREALISM IN THE WORKS OF CAROLE A. FEUERMAN

“The queen of super-realism” is how art historian John Spike described Carole A. Feuerman, the American artist famous the world over for her coloured resin sculptures.

The subjects that have characterised her artistic career from the very beginning are swimmers, women depicted in a moment of stillness, athletic figures portrayed in the act of greatest physical tension, up to the latest homages to the great classics.

The largest collection of works by Pietro Aldi is preserved in Saturnia, at the Polo Culturale named after the artist.
Inaugurated in 2016, the Polo Culturale Pietro Aldi houses the largest collection of works by the artist, is home to a library for children and young people, and organises temporary exhibitions of the highest calibre.

I recently visited the Polo Culturale Pietro Aldi, and in this post I will tell you about the life and works of an artist who told the great story of Italy.

Gastone Novelli in Saturnia

GASTONE NOVELLI IN SATURNIA

Gastone Novelli was born in Vienna in 1925 and died in Milan in 1968.
His life was short but his artistic career was singular and rebellious. His disappointment with the artistic and intellectual circles of his time is well known.

Gastone Novelli refuses a linear view of history and any rigid categorisation, but organises the stimuli from reality – landscape, mythology, fragments of his biography and literature – according to a personal coherence.
