Déco. Arte in Italia 1919-1939
Rovigo, Palazzo Roverella - Jan. 31 - Jun. 28, 2009
Most art historians trace the origins of Art Deco to the International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Art in Paris in 1925 but a parallel movement was already taking shape in Italy.
A number of thinkers, designers and artists were producing fascinating new geometric work in Italy and Monza's International Expositions of Decorative Arts in 1923, 1925 and 1927 provided an important showcase for this developing style.
'Déco. Arte in Italia 1919-1939' (Deco: Art In Italy 1919-1939) explores this trend as it emerged in Italy. It further breaks with convention by focusing on a broader conception of art rather than limiting itself to architecture or interior decoration, the traditional darlings of the movement. Divided into 11 sections, the show draws out numerous links with the world of art with specific sections on painting, drawings, glass and sculpture.
