THE VENICE ART BIENNALE 2017: the 57th International Art Exhibition

The Venice Art Biennale. The Venice Art Biennale is the most important international art exhibition in the world.
The first edition dates back to 1895, and since then, the Venice Art Biennale, every two years, has gathered in Venice the most important contemporary artists causing quarrels, scandals, protests, inspirations, and much more.

The greatest artists have exhibited their works of art at the Venice Art Biennale, including: Gustav Klimt, Henry Matisse, Modigliani (in 1922, two years after his death, a retrospective exhibition was arranged, which provoked several debates), De Chirico, Dalì, Kandinsky, Pollock, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, and Maurizio Cattelan, just to mention a few.

In this post you’ll find all the updates 😉

The Musée Besançon

Musée de Besançon. Some time ago I wrote about the arrival in Venice of the work which is probably the last painting by Giovanni Bellini, on exhibition on the occasion of the 500^th anniversary of the death of the artist.
I had the chance to discover a museum I didn’t know, and I have been waiting for its reopening to the public since 2015, because the Musée de Besançon is closed for restoration and it will be closed until 2018.

Meanwhile, I’ve discovered its history and I will tell you in this post.
