The refined allure of Liberty (Art Nouveau) will be the focal point of a significant exhibition at Palazzo Martinengo in Brescia. The exhibition will run from January 24th to June 14th and feature more than 100 works that will recount a transversal and international phenomenon that swept across Europe in the first fifteen years of the 20th century. This phenomenon was known by a different name in each country—Art Nouveau in France, Jugendstil in Germany and Austria, Modern Style in England, and Liberty in Italy—and it influenced all forms of art, including painting, architecture, sculpture, graphics, fashion, the applied arts, photography, and film. The exhibition "Liberty. The Art of Modern Italy" at Palazzo Martinengo will recreate the mood of a bygone age through the works of its key figures. Loans from prominent museums and private collections will include previously unseen masterpieces and gems that are unknown to the general audience. The exhibition will showcase the multimodal spirit of Art Nouveau in eight areas, including paintings, sculptures, posters, ceramics, vintage photographs, and exquisite women's clothing. An entire chapter will be dedicated to cinema, which was still in its early stages, with an emphasis on the emerging phenomenon of stardom. Representing the “new” or floral style that captivated Italians at the dawn of Modernity are works by Vittorio Corcos, Gaetano Previati, Plinio Nomellini, Ettore Tito; sculptures by Leonardo Bistolfi and Libero Andreotti; posters by Leonardo Dudovich and Leopoldo Metlicovitz; and ceramics by Galileo Chini—witnesses to an era of profound change in both art and society.
