Museo Novecento
The scholars and restorers of the Museo Novecento describe the research carried out on the works of the Collections, telling the phases that lead to the discovery of new data. The historical analysis and the restoration work prove to be, as well as a conservative necessity, an indispensable tool of study and research for the understanding of the history of the works.
Curated by Valentina Gensini.
Wednesday 29 October at 5:30p.m: Davide Lacagnina – The Pirandello case: the times of history, the times of art
The meeting will be dedicated to the painting “I tondi” by Fausto Pirandello, donated by the artist to the City of Florence in 1967: a key work of the painter’s training in Paris, between the twenties and thirties. The research carried out on the occasion of the organization of the Museo Novecento has called into question the chronology of the work, traditionally assigned to 1929. As is customary in the catalog of Pirandello as well as those of many other artists of his generation, it is actually a remake of the second half of the twentieth century: it is the return to a theme dear to the artist, of which there are other examples, even with variants, which is configured as the attempt to rebuild à rebours a creative biography, fixing moments and reasons for a poetic journey, in which the times of history do not always coincide with those of art. With a special exhibition of the work I tondi, by Fausto Pirandello.
