Piero Marussig. General Catalogue and Exhibition

After about 20 years since the last public exhibition, it was felt the need for presenting again the personality and works by Piero Marussig in his hometown, due to the fact that his very personal style (made of secessionist echoes and classical influences) still attracts the public and scholars; it is also because the scientific analysis and the critical investigation of his artistic career (made of important attendances such as his repeated presence at the Biennale of Venice from 1912), helps to illustrate the dynamic and controversial context of Trieste during the years before the First World War up to the end of the second decade.
There are on display all the most important works by the artist, divided into four sections: the mittel-European period; the Parisian movement of 1905, when the artist discovers impressionism and post-impressionism; Milan and the “Italian Twentieth Century”; the landscapes and still lifes of the Thirties, that is the last important working period of the artist before his early death at 58.
