Fiera
CUBO, Spazio ARTE set up the fall season with Modernity and Beauty, the themes of the new exhibition of the Unipol Group's Artistic Heritage. Thanks to Giovanni Boldini's famous Portrait of Lady Nanne Schrader (1903) and a corpus of works by Luca Bellandi in the Group's Heritage integrated with some of his more recent productions, we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of the poet of modernity, Charles Baudelaire.
Indeed, the concept of the exhibition arose from The Painter of Modern Life (1863), in which the tribute to the Parisian painter Constantin Guys allows Baudelaire to express his positions on contemporary art: Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent, it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable. There is a form of modernity for every painter of the past; the majority of the fine portraits that remain to us from former times are clothed in the dress of their own day. They are perfectly harmonious works because the dress, the hairstyle, and even the gesture, the expression and the smile form a whole, full of vitality.
Starting from the above notion of modernity, Alice Ensabella, author of the catalogue text, highlights the exhibition's central theme, the modernity that leads to the ideal of beauty and has inspired the certainly unusual - and surely daring - dialogue between Giovanni Boldini and his Portrait of Lady Nanne Schrader and a group of works by the Livorno artist Luca Bellandi presented in the exhibition.
