Charta

Italian modernist painter Mario Sironi's (1885-1961) paintings spoke through a unique palette of incessantly dialectical lights and shadows, blacks and whites, browns and ochres. Reproduced here is a selection of works that, with the exception of his futurist period, span his entire career: the urban landscapes of the 20s, compositions of the 30s, and explosions of elaborate multiple works of the 40s and 50s. Sironi's interests were wide-ranging and included not only painting and sculpture but also advertising graphics, theatrical staging, architecture, and engineering. Allegations of fascist leanings clouded his reputation after World War II and he spent the last twenty years of his life in relative poverty and obscurity. This is among the first publications to reexamine his artistic legacy.

Questo volume riconsidera con un nuovo sguardo il vivace panorama artistico e culturale napoletano negli ultimi decenni dell'Ottocento, quando la città, perduto il rango di capitale, cerca nel rapporto privilegiato con Parigi la vocazione a metropoli moderna. I saggi, che precedono il catalogo delle opere esposte, approfondiscono gli aspetti più caratterizzanti di una tendenza per cui i napoletani, in particolare i pittori, hanno raggiunto il primato di essere stati, più di tutti gli artisti provenienti da altre parti d'Italia, presenti sulla scena parigina. Sia con soggiorni più o meno lunghi, sia presentando le loro opere ai Salon e alle grandi Esposizioni Universali. Tutti i generi, dalla pittura di storia al paesaggio, dalle vedute alle scene di vita popolare, sono usciti profondamente rinnovati da questa formidabile occasione di aggiornamento. Lo dimostrano i capolavori di Morelli, Toma, Netti, Tofano, Michetti, Mancini e di quel genio innovativo che è stato Gemito. In particolare De Nittis, che ha scelto di vivere definitivamente a Parigi, è stato il principale punto di riferimento per quanti si sono misurati con la cosiddetta pittura della vita moderna...
