The return of bolognese officina bologna dopo morandi
Bologna dopo Morandi (1945-2015) curated by Renato Barilli at Palazzo Fava in Bologna (Italy) is a search about a reality that for years represented the only real alternative model to the Milan one, known to be more biased towards the market.
It is a focus on an artistic system that has been able to overcome the lack of a reference figure equal to that which has been Giorgio Morandi.
Telling the exhibition Bologna dopo Morandi (1945-2015) curated by Renato Barilli at Palazzo Fava in Bologna (Italy) starting from the third floor of the museum helps us to approach the main artistic events happened in the capital of Emilia in a chronological order nearer to us. To start at the end means also shift the focus to the prolific cultural area of Bologna and, in general, to an artistic system that has been able to overcome the lack of a reference figure equal to that which has been Giorgio Morandi. The painter from Via Fondazza, in fact, if he were paradoxically alive to date should have been measured with a multifaceted artistic reality able to offer artists and a leading cultural atmosphere. We can find many artists born in Bologna or that here have got an artistic education or spent important years of their creative experience. In the rooms of Palazzo Fava we find Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luigi Ontani, Concetto Pozzati, and also Piero Manai, Vasco Bendini, Emilio Tadini as well as the Nuovi Nuovi, with a background section on the graphics and the comic, where, of course, Andrea Pazienza and Lorenzo Mattotti stand out. Nevertheless the cultural climate breathed in Bologna
