ORIZZONTI D’ACQUA

The Exhibition features Galileo Chini, one of the most important figures of international Modernism, and some artists who shared experiences with him during the period, from Symbolism to Art Nouveau, from the Viennese Secession to the suggestions of Orientalism. The theme of the exhibition will be water, a recurring subject in those artistic movements that, between the 19th and 20th centuries, identified with Symbolism and Divisionism.

The common thread that accompanies the visitor throughout the exhibition, water is a constant note in all of Chini's production and tells of the artist's harmony with the backgrounds, now fluvial, now marine, from the Arno to the river of Bangkok, from Venice to the seaside and spa resorts of Viareggio, Montecatini and Salsomaggiore.
