Felice Casorati Retrospective at Museo Archeologico Regionale di Aosta

The Museo Archeologico Regionale di Aosta hosts 'Felice Casorati. Pittura che nasce dall’interno', a major retrospective featuring over 100 works by the Italian painter Felice Casorati (Novara, 1883 – Turin, 1963). The exhibition spans Casorati's entire career, from early works like 'Le Sorelle' (1908) and 'Città turrita' (1913) to later pieces. It includes paintings, sculptures, and sketches for Teatro alla Scala. A section highlights female artists from Casorati's private school, including his wife Dafne Maugham, Lalla Romano, Marisa Mori, and Nella Marchesini, a counterpoint to Italy's patriarchal society. Works are drawn from public and private collections. The exhibition notes Casorati's use of black and his connection to early Renaissance painting, particularly Piero della Francesca, as reinterpreted by Roberto Longhi.
