As promised here are the pictures of my visit to the most incredible exhibition of
2013, "100 Years of pratical Madness." An exhibition dedicated to the creative genius of Fornasetti, and I was excited because it was a character who loved to go against, shunned
definitions of periods and styles,
approached art with the design,
but after only two years of attending
the courses at the Academy Brera
was expelled for insubordination because, as he said, "I
do not teach what I learn." I was accompanied
by a photograph of exception,
Paola Poletto, who created the wonderful shots and
I told you that already
in the post 100 anni di Follia pratica / 100 Years pratical Madness.
Il 10 novembre Piero Fornasetti avrebbe compiuto 100 anni. Si tratta di uno dei più vulcanici e sorprendenti artisti del XX secolo e la Triennale Design Museum in occasione del centenario dalla nascita gli dedica la prima grande e inedita mostra, con oltre 1.000 pezzi provenienti in gran parte dallo straordinario Archivio curato dal figlio Barnaba Fornasetti, che prosegue ancora oggi l’attività del padre e curatore dell’esposizione. Il percorso allestito in Triennale è affascinante e attraversa tutta la carriera di quello che è stato, tra gli esponenti storici del design italiano, il più surreale e visionario. Si passa dagli inizi come pittore, alla collaborazione con Giò Ponti, attraversando gli ornamenti e gli oggetti creati negli anni come piatti, paraventi, portaombrelli, tessuti, lampade. Una creatività strabordante, che mi ha immersa in un mondo in cui i riferimenti al Surrealismo, al Rinascimento, all’Arcimboldi si mescolano con una produzione artigianale raffinata. Ho visitato questa mostra avvicinandomi per la prima volta alle opere di Fornasetti e mi sono resa conto di quanto siano ancora presenti nella nostra vita le sue immagini e le sue creazioni, perché tutt’ora riprodotte e che solo uno spirito libero come Fornasetti poteva ideare.
On November 10, Piero
Fornasetti would have turned 100 years old. It
is one of the most volcanic and amazing artists of the twentieth century and
the Triennale Design Museum on the occasion of the centenary of the birth
devotes the first major and unprecedented exhibition, with more than 1,000
pieces coming largely from the extraordinary Archive cared for by his son
Barnaba Fornasetti that
continues to this day his father's business and curator of the exhibition . The
path set in the Triennale is charming and runs through the career of what has
been , among the exponents of Italian design , the most surreal and visionary. From
the beginning as a painter, in collaboration with Gio Ponti, and poigli
ornaments and objects created over the years as plates , screens, umbrella
stands, fabrics, lamps . An
overflowing creativity , which I was immersed in a world in which references to
Surrealism , to the Renaissance, Arcimboldi blend with a refined craftsmanship
. I
visited this exhibition approaching for the first time the works of Fornasetti
and I realized how much our lives are still present in her images and her
creations , because they still reproduced and that only a free spirit like
Fornasetti could devise .
