Radical Light: Italy's Divisionist Painters

Radical Light. Italy's Divisionist Painters 1891-1910
National Gallery, London
June 18 - September 7, 2008

The exhibition explores the complex relationship between Italian Divisionism and the emerging Futurist movement in the early years of the 20th century. It is the first of its kind to be organised outside Italy.
Centred in Milan, Divisionism was arguably the most significant art movement to emerge in Italy during the last decades of the 19th century.
This exhibition features around 60 paintings, including works by the main protagonists of Divisionism: Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, Giovanni Segantini, Gaetano Previati, Angelo Morbelli, Emilio Longoni, and Plinio Nomellini. It will also display works by the Futurist artists Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, and Luigi Russolo.

Under the title Rivoluzione! Italian Modernism from Segantini to Balla, the exhibition will be on display at
Kunsthaus, Zurich
September 26, 2008 - January 11, 2009
