KEITH HARING. ABOUT ART

Keith Haring was a bright meteor, who went through the world as light a feather.
He died at the age of 31, but he had enough time to become a great artist, leaving his mark, or rather his drawings, which call to mind other drawings and can go on forever.

Keith Haring. About art, is the first exhibition retracing the life and the career of this artist and will arrive in Milan (read also what to see in Milan: the museum you must see), and will make a comparison between his works and works by other artists and other artistic languages which influenced his work.

In this article you can find all the information, but if you’d like to know more aspects of the exhibition you can read Works by Keith Haring: About art

DA HAYEZ A BOLDINI. UNA MOSTRA A BRESCIA CHE RACCONTA L’OTTOCENTO ITALIANO

Vedere le opere di tutti i maggiori artisti dell’Ottocento italiano riuniti in un solo luogo è emozionante.
Sarà che il periodo della storia dell’arte che preferisco di più in questo periodo della mia vita, sarà anche che rivedere le opere di Hayez dopo la mostra spettacolare delle Gallerie d’Italia mi fa venire sempre i brividi, ma la mostra in corso a Brescia mi ha incantata.

DEPERO THE MAGICIAN: THE ARTIST WHO COULD CREATE MARVEL

Dynamic, eclectic, brilliant. Fortunato Depero was an amazing creative artist.
In 1917 he signed together with Giacomo Balla the Manifesto of “Ricostruzione futurista dell’universo” (“Futurist Reconstruction of the Universe”) containing the idea of a total work of art, capable of assimilating all artistic languages. Then, Depero realized a big dream: to open the Casa d’arte futurista (the House of Futurist Art), specializing in commercial art, furniture and Applied Arts.

From March 18th to July 2nd 2017 the Fondazione Magnani Rocca (Magnani Rocca Foundation) will host a great exhibition dedicated to Fortunato Depero.
