Marc Chagall. A retrospective (1908-1985), was the most visited exhibition in Milan in 2014. More than 340.000 people admired the masterpieces of the Russian master, set up in the halls of Palazzo Reale. Now the 220 works are about to move to Brussels, to the Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, from 28 February to 28 June 2015.
As in Milan, in a new layout, the exhibition will present 220 works from the most prestigious museums in the world such as the Tate in London, the MoMA in New York, the Center Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, the Nagoya City Art Museum, the Russian National Museum in St. Petersburg and many others.
“This new stage of the Chagall exhibition – says Filippo Zevi, managing director of GAmm Giunti -, rewards the conception and production work of GAmm Giunti and the collaboration with curators such as Claudia Zevi & Partners in building exhibition projects, born and developed in Italy together with institutions such as the Royal Palace which find great visibility and an even wider audience in their relationship with equally important international realities".
The exhibition follows Marc Chagall's entire career, from his first paintings in 1908 to his last monumental works of the XNUMXs. The exhibition itinerary analyzes the great themes, such as Jewish culture, the iconography of the Jewish village or popular traditions, but also focuses on the encounter with XNUMXth century literature - in particular La Fontaine - on the discovery of light and on the use of color.
A particular echo will be reserved for Chagall's Russian period, or rather at that moment in which his style, so personal, distinguishes him from an artistic culture strongly influenced by the Cubist revolution.
A single historical and critical project, curated by Claudia Zevi and Michel Draguet director of the MRBAB, with the collaboration of Meret Meyer, organized by the Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique.
