Description

At the end of 1922 seven artists came together in a group called Artisti del Novecento which promoted a painting that found its references in the classic periods of Italian art, the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. These painters (Anselmo Bucci, Leonardo Dudreville, Achille Funi, Emilio Malerba, Pietro Marussig, Ubaldo Oppi and Mario Sironi) were linked to the Pesaro Gallery in Milan and in 1924, with the exit of Oppi, they presented themselves at the Venice Biennale in a exhibition under the name Six Painters of the Twentieth Century. The movement was then sponsored and theorized by the powerful Margherita Sarfatti, linked to the government line of the young fascist regime of "return to order": it was Sarfatti who organized the First Italian Twentieth Century Art Exhibition in 1926 at the Palazzo della Permanente in Milan, of which we propose the original catalogue. The Steering Committee includes personalities from the artistic world (Achille Funi, Piero Marussig, Adoldo Wildt) and politics of the city; among others Benito Mussolini, Ada Negri, FT Marinetti appear in the honorary committee. Works by 110 Italian artists are exhibited in the Milanese rooms: in addition to the members of the original twentieth century group we find some of the most important names in the artistic panorama of the time (Medardo Rosso, Massimo Campigli, Carlo Carrà (no longer futurist), Felice Casorati, Giorgio De Chirico, Filippo De Pisis, Achille Lega, Osvaldo Licini, Arturo Martini, Giorgio Morandi, Gino Severini (no longer futurist), Ardengo Soffici (no longer futurist), Arturo Tosi). Also present was a representation of the Futurist movement: Giacomo Balla (without reproduced image), Fortunato Depero (Portrait of the aviator Azari), Enrico Prampolini (The gym of the senses), Luigi Russolo (without reproduced image). The exhibition was then taken to Paris in 1926. The catalog presents 113 plates. in b/w it was printed in a limited edition: ours is copy no. 1325. 16 pages of period advertisements.
