The successful programme of exhibitions conceived by the Fondazione Musei Civici for the Centro Culturale Candiani continues, having been renewed by the exhibition Kandinsky e le avanguardie in 2022, Chagall. Il colore di sogni in 2023 and Matisse e la luce del Mediterraneo in 2024.
These exhibitions are based on the civic collections preserved in the Galleria Internazionale d’Arte Moderna. The new project starts from the graphic collections of Ca’ Pesaro, which contains four exemplary graphic works by Edvard Munch executed in drypoint, aquatint, etching and lithography. Inspired by the revolutionary iconographies of the Norwegian master, the exhibition investigates the work of this protagonist of Nordic Expressionism, the creator of iconic masterpieces in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The overwhelming intensity of forms and colours in Munch’s art reverberates all through the 20th century.
This appears not just in the Scandinavian and German art added to the collections of Ca’ Pesaro through acquisitions by the Municipality of Venice during the editions of the Biennale, but also in the great season of the Weimar Republic between the wars.
