Over the past four days I was at the Quirinal Stables, for the exhibition on Lorenzo Lotto, and the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, Rossetti, Burne Jones and the myth of Italy in Victorian England.
few brief comments.
The fitting of the Stables have always done well. On this occasion, however, I was a bit 'frustrated by signs that illustrate the various exhibition rooms.
Very technical, not narrative.
Overall it is worth going to see one of the most special and marginalized Italian painters, not only of the '500 but the whole story.
Then, the GAM has disappointed me, no ifs, ands or buts.
Today, more than ever, there is a widespread tendency to dip exposures in cialtroneria, with results that leave (or should leave) the viewer perplexed (at least) on what he is seeing.
I speak of the mirror for larks with which you are trying today to attract people in museums, through amazing titles but in truth, they do not reflect the essence of what it is exposed.
The return of English art on display there in part. A third, abundant, of works on display are of Italian painters (De Carolis to Previati, by Titian, Giotto).
recently, only in Paris I could see something really well done, really nice and very complete.
I speak of Mondrian and De Stijl and retrospective Arman, Centre Pompidou, and Monet at the Grand Palais. It is no coincidence, because three out of three, one made better than the other, can not be a coincidence.
C 'is, finally, the issue price .
A family of four (father, mother and two children) to see this exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art, for example, spends the beauty of 36 €. Let me give you the old predicona : match to 70,000 pounds. Possible?
A student, like me, art history spends € 8. Possible?
Any schoolboy of any other material, not particularly fond of art, as many spends € 8. You can choose to go to the museum or the movies, with that money.
What might prefer, between the two options?
Here, in terms of reflections on the value and location of culture, in general, and visual arts, specifically, these data also slipped, which I do not feel quite marginal.
