Felice Casorati retrospective opens in Milan

In Milan, a significant retrospective dedicated to Felice Casorati (Novara, 1883 – Turin, 1963) is currently being showcased, with curation by Giorgina Bertolino, Francesco Poli, and Fernando Mazzocca. This exhibition highlights his artistic journey, starting with early pieces from Padua and Naples, such as 'Le ereditiere' from 1910, progressing to his allegorical works in Verona (1912–1914), which include three masks from 1914. The Turin phase (1918–1920) features substantial tempera paintings, while notable early 1920s works include 'Silvana Cenni' and 'Le uova sul cassettone.' Additionally, it presents rare bas-reliefs for the Gualino house, portraits of Riccardo Gualino's family, and pieces from the 1924 Venice Biennale, underlining Casorati's critical view of Fascism and his role as an educator.
