(Prenota qui) Explore the connections between Amedeo Modigliani and contemporary artist Luigi Ontani on the theme of portraiture.
The aesthetic language of the these two artists presents similar characteristics including the mix of different cultural elements, the theme of the tribal mask, union of sacred and profane, history and myth, sensuality and indifference as well as the symbolic and subjective style of representation and self-representation.
For this event Luigi Ontani is joined by curator and critic Bartolomeo Pietromarchi.
Please note that this event will be in Italian and English language with consecutive interpretation.
