Ottone Rosai. From the Futurist Season to the Late Years

On display there are about 40 works divided into oils and drawings, which show Rosai’s whole artistic career, from the futurist period to his late years. In his works Ottone Rosai, “painter and futurist soldier”, as he signed himself in one of his drawings, shapes modernity and proves that it is possible to preserve a distant memory, painting a humble and ordinary mankind, charged with a silent expressive potential. His painting carries the social anger that refutes every kind of critical label or academic formula, and finds in futurism a channel to express itself and recover the local and national tradition.
