Eventi a Firenze e dintorni |
The new exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence is dedicated to an Italian artistic movement of the 20th century that had a major and decisive impact, perhaps the last to do so, on the international art scene.
De Chirico, Max Ernst, Magritte, Balthus – uno sguardo nell’invisibile (A Look Into the Invisible) is the title of the exhibition, which features numerous works obtained thanks to international loans, bringing metaphysical painting “back home”.
It was in Florence, in fact, in Piazza Santa Croce in October 1909 that a young Giorgio de Chirico had the intuition of the mysterious relationship that exists between the things that appear and their meaning.
The Florence exhibition, which brings together the works of de Chirico with those representing the European artistic movements that he in some way “unleashed” – Dada, Surrealism, Neue Sachlichkeit, Magical Realism –, offers visitors paintings by Giorgio Morandi,

The new exhibition at the Contemporary Art Exhibition Center Strozzina is an ideal follow up of the previous Manipulating Reality which explored the relationship between reality and representation in the medium of photography. Gerhard Richter and the disappearance of the image in contemporary art it's the name of the exhibition starting on February 20th.
If Richter is of the best-known and most sought-after living painters, in Florence he is placed in dialogue with works by 7 international contemporary artists, who all share Richter’s profound distrust of the image as a guarantee of truth. The exhibition has been conceived by Franziska Nori (project director of the CCCS) and Hubertus Gassner (director of the Kunsthalle Hamburg. ,Richter, one of the pioneers in depicting the dissolution of both the motif and the medium, paints over original pictures or uses a blurred painting technique. He deliberately selects trivial or random motifs as the starting point for his paintings. Well aware of the power of images, Richter strives to break or at least question their authority by making his pictures merge or disappear. He plays with reality and appearance and converts figurative images into abstract ones by focusing, for example, on fragmentary details. Richter addresses the difference between subjective perception and the objective experience of reality in which the artist can only offer possible approaches to address the difficult relationship between the object and its representation.

Aperitivo is one of Italy’s most charming traditions and one of Florence’s best kept secrets. By the time I arrived here, in fact, I was under the impression that the term was just a rough translation of the English “cocktail.” I wasn’t so far from the truth, as, in terms of history and etymology, that is what it is. Somewhere in Turin some years ago, some gentleman invented something called vermouth, paired it with light snacks and proposed it as an “opening” to the evening meal.
Over two centuries aperitivo has evolved to become the evening meal. Nowadays, it is customary for the locals en route from work to stop by a favourite bar or club, partake in a cocktail with friends and enjoy a veritable buffet of pastas, vegetables, finger sandwiches, salads and, yes, even light snacks. |
