The curtain rises on the Mart! Since long-range Laurent the orchestra pit of Degas.
If you want to discover the unknown background nineteenth-century theater, do not miss the new exhibition "From the scene of the painting. The magic of theater in nineteenth century painting " given by Mart - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto. Glimpses
unpublished episodes ever told and paintings that inspired popular theater pieces, accompany the visitor of famous paintings, drawings and maquettes of famous scenes. The curator Guy Cogeval
, a member of the Scientific Committee of the Mart, with the collaboration of Beatrice Avanzi offered a new interpretation of the relationship between theater and theatrical writing by selecting the 200 works that best represent such contamination. The exhibition was inaugurated
February 6, 2010 and will remain open until May 23 ; already hosted the exhibition at the Musée de Marseille, Rovereto will arrive after the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, thus renewing the partnership between the museum and Trentino these two important institutions International .
Selected works tell a little over one hundred years of history through the Neoclassicism and Romanticism, Impressionism and until the first examples of symbolism. From David to Delacroix, through such artists as Ingres and Hayez, masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay and the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Musée du Louvre, show how the painters of the nineteenth and the theater world were influenced each other.
"Children of Edward" Delaroche is a clear example of how the art of painting canvases often had an impact on the theater: the conclusion of Shakespeare's tragedy "Richard III", in fact, the final scene is replaced with a still image of the artist .
Noteworthy is certainly the that particular arrangement, the usual white walls of the Mart, very strong preference for shades of gray and rose as a backdrop to the works exhibited emphasizing the scenic effect.
images inspired piéce are accompanied by verses from the original scripts that involve the user, soaking in the atmosphere and making it theatrical star of documented events ever.
Masterpieces by Degas not tell just what happens in the fiction of the stage, but also reveal the hidden world of rehearsals, and behind the scenes of the theater audience. It is thus to discover that the protagonists of "The orchestra of the theater" are nothing more than close friends of the painter who, back from an unusual perspective, alters the composition of classical orchestra by moving the first violin in favor of his friend, oboist .
works by the great size alternate with sketches and drawings by Appia, designer of the late nineteenth century introducing minimalist works, and maquettes which reproduce in the small-scale scenes of some of the most famous theaters in Europe, making the dynamic construction and the visit very fluid.
The exhibition continues the search for modernity in which the Mart has voted, is an opportunity to deepen connections and areas not well known and at the same time bring new audiences to the art world, thanks to the reputation and quality of the exhibits .
