Description

"The title of the exhibition recalls a famous show curated by Nicola Spinosa (Ritorno al Barocco. Da Caravaggio a Vanvitelli, Naples, December 2009 - April 2010) but follows a new approach, investigating the shared interest in the baroque culture of three of the major sculptors of the Italian art scene: Lucio Fontana, Fausto Melotti and Leoncillo Leonardi. This shared interest can be found specially in their ceramic production, which is why we have decided to appoint Andrea Bacchi, recognized as an important expert in the field of Italian sculpture, as the curator of both the exhibition and its accompanying catalogue. We thought it is important that this study and comparison was made using a technical and specialist approach, especially because up until present the scholarship dealing with these three artists has only made reference to the influence of the baroque on their works in an elusively and generic way."--www.mlfineart.com
