Publisher's Synopsis
A precious collection of paintings and sculptures that tells the story of Italian art between 1928 and 1945. The years between the world wars in Italy were a stimulating period that, in addition to the already established great masters such as Morandi, Carrà, De Chirico and Severini, also saw the emergence of an array of young artists, capable of presenting an alternative aesthetics of international scope. This is a private collection whose sole purpose is to give the art of the 1930s and 1940s back the attention and dignity it deserves. This volume brings some supreme works back to light and shows them in conjunction with works that are only apparently minor, but which have been ignored for decades. This collection of works, which is conspicuous also in quantitative terms, is therefore a significant presence on the international cultural panorama.
