The Shoah of art

Also this year, on the occasion of the Day of Remembrance, the Museo Novecento proposes an appointment to remember those artists and personalities from the world of art who with their work opposed the fascist regime.

The spouses Mafai, Mario and Antonietta, are among these, affected in various ways by the abuses of the dictatorship, by the demolition of their atelier house in via Cavour in Rome, by the need to hide with the whole family in the aftermath of the enactment of the laws racial. A conference focused on the artistic story, never as in this case closely linked to the personal story of the couple and many other artists sharing the same fate.

The path is part of the Shoah of Art, a project organized by ECAD and created to emphasize the Shoah in the artistic life of the country, enhancing, within public and private collections, works and artists who during the Nazi-fascism were marginalized and persecuted.

Conference curated by Elisabetta Stumpo.
