Bice Lazzari exhibition in Rome celebrates Italian abstraction pioneer

An exhibition in Rome is dedicated to Bice Lazzari (Venice, 1900 – Rome, 1981), a key figure in 20th-century Italian art. The show features collages, paintings, and works on paper spanning her career, highlighting her exploration of informal, minimalist, and abstract aesthetics. Lazzari's work is characterized by a duality of sensitivity and boldness, with sharp nuances, lines, and chromatic juxtapositions that transcend the aesthetics of her time. Her curiosity led her to experiment with decorative arts, and essential elements like color, line, and rhythm became central to her later, most important production from 1970. Concurrently, Ca' Pesaro in Venice hosts the exhibition "Bice Lazzari: fra spazio e misura" curated by Paola Ugolini, running until October 23, 2022.
