Renato Guttuso's Still Lifes at Pavia Castle
The Scuderie del Castello Visconteo in Pavia presents 'Renato Guttuso – La forza delle cose', a thematic exhibition focused on the still lifes of the Sicilian painter Renato Guttuso (Bagheria, 1911 – Roma, 1987). Curated by Fabio Carapezza Guttuso and Susanna Zatti, the show features fifty works that trace Guttuso's evolution from the late 1930s to the 1980s, highlighting his sensual approach to color and form. Notable pieces include 'Sedia, bucranio e tavolo verde' (1938) from the Mart, 'Da Morandi' (1965) paying homage to Giorgio Morandi, and 'Teschi sul caminetto' (1986). The exhibition runs until December 18, 2016, and is accompanied by a Skira catalogue.
