Contemporary art between the two world wars will be the protagonist in the cinema room of the Museo Novecento in Florence on the occasion of the presentation of the book by Alessandro del Puppo Contemporary Art. Between the two wars, Monday, May 9 at 6:00pm. The meeting, lasting approximately 90 minutes, will take place in the presence of the author and the Director of the Novecento Museum, Sergio Risaliti, together with Giorgio Bacci, professor of Contemporary Art History at the Florentine University.
The book, published by Carocci, deals with the multiple phenomena of critical revision of the avant-gardes, the changes in the market, the migrations of artists, the continuity of experimentation through new techniques, new media and the consequent new languages. Not forgetting the intertwining with historical facts such as the emanation of a regime art in totalitarian countries, the establishment of artistic programs with a social background in the Americas, the progressive recognition of women artists and the difficult graft of modernism in emerging countries.
