Giulio Turcato's 'Libertà e felicità' Exhibition at Galleria Lombardi in Rome

Galleria Lombardi in Rome presents 'Libertà e felicità', a solo exhibition of Giulio Turcato (1912–1995), curated by Lorenzo and Enrico Lombardi. Running until March 29, the show marks the 30th anniversary of the artist's death, featuring 25 works spanning his career. The exhibition includes rare pieces like 'Comizi' (1948), which reflect his civil engagement, alongside series such as 'Reticoli', 'Itinerari', 'Superfici lunari', 'Paesaggi archeologici', 'Arcipelaghi', and collages. A catalog accompanies the show, with a critical text by Guglielmo Gigliotti and a testimony from artist and friend Giancarlo Limoni. Turcato, a leading figure of the second half of the 20th century and a promoter of avant-garde movements like Gruppo Forma and Fronte Nuovo delle Arti, is celebrated as one of the greatest colorists of his generation. Gigliotti describes his use of color as a manifesto of chromatic freedom and depth, capable of transforming matter and evoking happiness. The artist's originality and freedom are highlighted, with Gigliotti noting his autoirony and ironic artistic approach.
