Tribute to Ottone Rosai

Starting with the works at the museum, that dedicates a whole section to Rosai, students and professors of the Liceo have worked for the entire school year creating a series of dresses, that on Friday evening will parade in the cloister of the museum accompained by musics and lectures of the artist.

The collection tries to catch the suggestion of the dreamy atmospheres of Rosai’s paintings and is the result of a careful study of the chromatic range and taste for its volumes. Each dress takes its name from quotes or paintings of the artist: Sempre vivo – Tocchi di blu – Il Carmine – Sopra i tetti – Tegole – Pennellate Santo Spirito – Grattacielo – Simili screzi – Tuo Ottone.

The clothes are handmade with tecniques of fabric manipulation that allow to move the surfaces creating material and three-dimensional effects. Brushstrokes that become textile and take shape.

These creations will come to life in the cloister accompained by the scenery of large canvases, also inspired by the painting of Rosai, with the accompaniment of music of Claude Debussy, Arthur Honneger and Pasqualino Alessandro Polito played by Donatella Cheri (transverse flute) and writings of the artist read by Francesco Gori.
