Surrealism in Italy: Major Exhibition at Fondazione Magnani-Rocca in Parma
The Fondazione Magnani-Rocca in Parma is hosting 'Surrealism in Italy,' a significant exhibition that examines the influence of the Surrealist movement on Italian art since the 1920s. This event commemorates the 100th anniversary of André Breton's Surrealist Manifesto from 1924, which is also being honored at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Curated by Stefano Roffi, the exhibition showcases works from renowned artists such as Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and Joan Miró, among others. It includes sections like 'The Masters of Surrealism' and 'Persistence and Evolution of Surrealism in Italian Art of the 1950s and 1960s.' Roffi's catalogue begins with Henry Fuseli's 1793 painting and explores Surrealism's connections to Dada, Symbolism, and its impact on photography and cinema.
