Show: Giuseppe Santomaso and the Abstract Option in Venice

On the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, in front of the famous Piazza San Marco, you can visit the Giuseppe Santomaso and the Abstract Option show from April 12 to July 13, 2008. At the Giorgio Cini Foundation, the exhibition commemorates the centennial of the birth of the Venetian artist Giuseppe Santomaso. The retrospective presents all the works from the master's entire career from the beginning to his artistic maturity.

The exhibition is not just a eulogy to the Venetian master but allows visitors to compare his entire body of works with some of the main Italian abstract artists like Afro, Renato Birolli, Mario De Luigi, Leone Minassian, Zoran Music, Armando Pizzinato, Emilio Vedova, Bice Lazzari, Tancredi Parmeggiani, Antonio Corpora, Virgilio Guidi and Toti Scialoja.

Santomaso was a master since he didn't just stay local but traveled frequently abroad. In particular, there was his 1937 trip to Paris when the Venetian artist saw the Universal Exhibition which led him to meet Braque and reflect on Cubism.

There are primarily paintings but not only: ceramics and frescos from the artist will also be presented. The event, managed by curator Nico Stringa, will be carried out in collaboration with the Gallerie di Palazzo Leoni Montanari, the Region of Veneto, the City of Venice, the Biennale of Venice, the Galleria Nazionale d?Arte Moderna of Rome and the Peggy Guggenheim Foundation.
