Massimo De Carlo Stages Portrait Exhibition Across Three European Venues
The Massimo De Carlo gallery is hosting an exhibition titled 'Portraiture One Century Apart' across three cities: Milan, London, and Paris. This showcase juxtaposes seven Italian painters from the early 20th century with fourteen contemporary figurative artists. Curated by Stefano Grandesso and Massimo Vecchia, the exhibition kicks off at Casa Corbellini-Wassermann in Milan, featuring works like Raoul dal Molin Ferenzona's 'Contessa genovese' (1932-35) and Lenz Geerk's 'Man Looking at a Bird' (2001). In London, the focus is on nudes and double portraits, including Luigi Trifoglio's 'Ritratto del chirurgo Gino Pieri' (1931). The Paris segment at Pièce Unique includes a piece by Giorgio de Chirico, referencing the 1920s 'return to order' movement as described by Waldemar-George.
