Louis Boudreault's Childhood Portraits of Icons at Tornabuoni Arte
Louis Boudreault (born 1956 in Havre-Aubert, Canada) presents a series of portraits at Tornabuoni Arte in Florence, depicting iconic 20th-century figures as children. Each portrait uses a specific color to reflect the subject's background: green for Luciano Pavarotti (evoking the Po Valley countryside), muted grays for Pier Paolo Pasolini (urban periphery), and pop stripes for Marlon Brando. Other subjects include Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Alberto Giacometti, and Sophia Loren. The exhibition runs until January 8, 2017, at Via Maggio 58r. The dynamic installation adds musicality to this color symphony of the past century.
