Galleria Gracis in Milan Hosts Exhibition on Venetian Spatialism

At Galleria Gracis in Milan, there’s an impressive exhibition focused on Venetian Spatialism, which began in the 1950s. This showcase, organized in collaboration with Bologna's Galleria Reve Art, features 30 artworks from artists like Edmondo Bacci, Mario Deluigi, and Ennio Finzi, with some pieces coming from renowned Venetian collections. The origins of Spatialism can be linked to Lucio Fontana's 1946 Manifiesto Blanco and his works at Galleria del Naviglio, run by Carlo Cardazzo. In 1951, Venetian Spatialists, such as Anton Giulio Ambrosini, published their own manifesto. While Fontana explored space, the Venetians focused on painting and individual creativity. Art historian Enrico Crispolti highlights their connection to light and scientific ideas, noting the differences in approach. One standout work is by Mario Deluigi, who had a solo show at Galleria del Naviglio in March 1947.
