The testing of different methodologies that have allowed the use of the dynamics of color and form in the works of exponents of the art of the twentieth century in a diverse artistic career, by Salvatore Fiume Franco Gentilini, Michele Cascella Joseph Scaiola, by Lucio del Pezzo Carla Accardi, from Valerio Adami Concept Pozzati, Ernesto Treccani Remo Brindisi.

"The color especially, perhaps even more than the design, it is a liberation," stated Henry Matisse, and how he's wrong in a very specific prevalence by Byzantine art, in addition to its value in providing sensory experiences that lead to harmony between fingerprints as fiction emotional. The color arouses thoughts and concepts in its manifestation to the outside and arouses the feeling of the soul, from the earliest perception with a few shades in a relationship with the incorporeal and the very existence, that have developed in the subsequent processes not only pictorial evolution in a huge and important also in other areas such as the design. So are recognized as the symbolic meanings of the colors from the form in the expressiveness of the artist who is the intuition and curiosity, the emotion and the ephemeral, the archetype of the art that has been perpetuated for centuries. It is the color that gives shape to the feeling of what we are looking to mark the moments of transformation in the art trends of the twentieth century, from impressionism to expressionism to postmodern and as such was also a significant meaning in the literary field.
The exhibition, curated by Andrea Finger, fielding eighteen artists to submit their comments tangibility different objective in different experiences, but with stylistic languages ​​attributable to demonstrate a capacity aggregating to each other, to evoke a great expressive power of suggestion. The exhibition while going from figurative to abstract, through a sequence of particularly significant works, create a report using the "form" that is her right in color adhesive. The testing of different methodologies, then, is the basis of this exhibition curated by Riccardo Prevosti that allows use of dynamics and coloristic atmospheres of the profiles in the works of exponents of the art of the twentieth century in a diverse artistic career, from Ernesto Treccani Salvatore river, by Franco Gentilini Michele Cascella. Artists who have watched the color balance, in what Kandinsky explained as a possible representation of the "spiritual reality apart from any allusion objective", alluding to the color with a transcendent intrinsic value, and we add to the right of twentieth-century artists to work with a critical and self-determination.
At emergence, then, is the essential hovered in space, in this reference of environments that give way to the gestures which ends where the boundary is absent or is strengthened where she witnesses the force of Italian art in the tradition of the color that meets the values ​​of the surface and the volume in Turi Slim and Concept Pozzati, or as in Andrea Pagnacco and Gennaro Picinni. The focal point is then the visual space in which the color becomes form and vice versa, in a mutual appropriation that identifies modern art and documents the evolution, such as for research in contrasts Piero Dorazio and Ugo Medlar to produce sensations of space and movement, or for that which elaborates the connotation in the formal simplification of Joseph Scaiola, to open another investigation of "The color and shape in the art of the twentieth century" that is in comparison with the matter as to Lucio Del piece and Carla Accardi.
The color will then find other solutions when only a trace of a space-light identification with the vibrations of the generation of the second half of the twentieth century, with reflections on real landscapes (Athos Faccincani) or imaginary (Luca Alinari), on signs and the synthesis of form in depriving perspective on the use of drafts flat as Valerio Adami. To prevail will be the choice of composition in the debate on a new dimension that will become more pronounced in tests with neo-figurative Remo Brindisi and Giuliana Consilvio.
