The power of truth. The Modern Painters of Reality

exhibition
[ Mart]

From an idea by Vittorio Sgarbi.

Curated by Beatrice Avanzi, Daniela Ferrari and Stefano Sbarbaro

Between 1947 and 1949, a number of Italian artists took a stand against the consequences of modernism and the 'blunders' of the École de Paris in defence of the great pictorial tradition. The group included Giovanni Acci, Pietro Annigoni, Antonio Bueno, Xavier Bueno, Carlo Guarienti, Gregorio Sciltian, Alfredo Serri. Five exhibitions were organised within a short time span in Milan, Florence, Modena and Rome. Although appreciated by the public, the seven artists were lambasted by critics, who considered their style too photographic and outdated.
Seventy years after the end of this brief and controversial experience, the Mart dedicates an exhibition to the Modern Painters of Reality, reconstructing an artistic development that represents an ideal continuation of the Plastic Values and Magic Realism atmospheres.
