Sacra Natura: Pericle Fazzini's Late Works at CART Falconara
At CART in Falconara Marittima, the 'Sacra Natura' exhibition presents the concluding phase of Pericle Fazzini's artistic journey (Grottammare, 1913 – Rome, 1987). Despite facing health challenges, Fazzini adeptly employed wax to sculpt elements of nature, delving into the dualities of strength and fragility. Among the highlights are the study for the Vatican's 'Risen Christ,' showcasing his skill in chromatic modulation. The exhibition includes ten engravings and emphasizes Fazzini's literary ties, featuring photographs with Giuseppe Ungaretti. It chronicles his public career, from winning a prize at the II Quadriennale of Rome in 1935 to his involvement in the Venice Biennale. The display concludes with works that reflect the intensity of Filippo De Pisis, deepening the appreciation of Fazzini's artistic intricacies.
