Klimt. La Secessione e l’Italia

Exhibition organized by Franz Smola, Maria Vittoria Marini Clarelli and Sandra Tretter, hosted at the Museo di Roma.
Four masterpieces from the permanent collection of the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Rome can be appreciated in the exhibition Klimt. La Secessione e l'Italia: Violette (1913, inv. AM 30) by Enrico Lionne, La Sultana (1913, inv. AM 19) by Camillo Innocenti, Gli Amanti (1909 - 1913, AM 147)) by Giovanni Prini and L'Arancio (1914, inv. AM 364) by Arturo Noci.
The exhibition explores Gustav Klimt's complete artistic career, celebrating his role as co-founder of the Vienna Art Nouveau Secession and exploring for the first time his relationship with Italy. Klimt and the artists in his circle are represented by over 200 works including paintings, drawings, vintage posters and sculptures from the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, the Klimt Foundation and other prestigious public and private collections. There is also a continuous comparison with paintings and sculptures by Italian artists such as Galileo Chini, Giovanni Prini, Enrico Lionne, Camillo Innocenti, Arturo Noci, Ercole Drei, Vittorio Zecchin and Felice Casorati, who were sensitive to the novelties of Klimt's language and were in various ways part of the Roman secessionist climate.
