his exhibition is important for its artistic and scientific aspects and the novelty of the works exhibited, which have never been seen before in Italy. It will contribute to deepen the historical-critical reflection on Surealism in general and in particular on the extraordinary results of Spanish art. It will also show for the first time in Italy an exhaustive over view of Spanish culture that had much to contribure with European civilization. It is noted that Surrealism, risen around its theorician André Breton, opened Modern thought towards the subconscious, dreams and profound territories of the "self", which gave much to painting, cinema, literature, from Garcia Lorca (who has many pastels present in the exhibition) to Buñuel, Ionesco and Fellini. |
