Il paesaggio totemico
Il presente studio ripercorre gli itinerari creativi di cinque artiste-scrittrici, Leonora Carrington, Leonor Fini, Kay Sage, Dorothea Tanning, Remedios Varo, che si sono avvicinate all’entourage dell’avanguardia surrealista quasi al termine degli anni Trenta del novecento, nel tentativo di indagare una serie di tematiche comuni per impostare un confronto e aprire una serie di links, come in un ipertesto, per una riflessione critica sulla loro esperienza di vita e di ricerca. Nei vari capitoli si alternano questioni e studi di caso relativi a percorsi mirati alla costruzione di se stesse in relazione alla propria identità di donne e di artiste in viaggio, ma primariamente di persone che...

Fascist Modernism in Italy
Between 1917 to 1975 Germany, Italy, Portugal, the Soviet Union, and Spain shifted from liberal parliamentary democracies to authoritarian and totalitarian dictatorships, seeking total control, mass consensus, and the constitution of a 'new man/woman' as the foundation of a modern collective social identity.

Famous examples include Mussolini's New Rome at EUR, or the Stalinist apartment blocks built in urban Russia. Focusing largely on Mussolini's Italy, Francesca Billiani argues that modernity was int...

While acknowledging the great achievements of the movement in the visual and literary arts of Italy and Russia, it treats Futurism as an international, multidisciplinary phenomenon that left a lasting mark on the manifold artistic manifestations of the early twentiet...
Painters of Reality
"Largely as a result of Leonardo's innovative work for the Sforza court in Milan, a rich vein of naturalism developed in North Italian art during the late fifteenth century. Questioning the strongly classicizing, idealized style dominant in areas south of the Apennines, artists in the region of Lombardy turned to an investigation of the natural world based on direct observation and adherence to strict visual truth. This heritage of realism continued to be of key importance for more than two hundred years, finding its greatest expression in the art of Caravaggio and eventually influencing the course of Baroque painting throughout Europe. Religious scenes, portraits, and landscapes were all tr...
