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

THE BRITISH MUSEUM IN LONDON: THE COLLECTIONS OF THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST

Everyone knows that the British Museum is one of the world’s greatest museums, is up with the times and always ready to amaze its visitors, as I told you in a post in which I also recommended to you the works housed at the British Museum you can’t miss.

I also explained you that the museum is divided into sections, in order to better organize the enormous amount of objects it houses, and since the entrance to the museum is free of charge, you can visit the British Museum whenever you want, and discover a different section every time.
One of the sections of the British Museum is devoted to the ancient Near East, and it was created in 1861 inside the space dedicated to the antiquities coming from the East.
