Miro' in Taormina

Taormina - July 8 - October 1, 2008 - www.miroataormina.it In the beautiful Church of Carmine, there will be an exhibit of 63 rare etchings and lithographs dating from 1960 to 1980 by the Catalan artist Joan Mirò.  The art exhibit is presented by Taormina Arte in collaboration with the Maeght Gallery and is personally curated by Isabelle Maeght. The relationship between the Maeght Foundation and Joan Mirò was very unique. As it was noted, the gallery owner, Aime Maeght, was not only a close friend of Mirò’s, but also his exclusive art vendor for Europe until 1947. The extraordinary and unique testimony  of their stainless rapport are Mirò’s etchings specifically created for the Maeght Foundation.

“Painting Lights”

Florence - July 11 -September 28, 2008 - www.impressionismofirenze.it “Painting Lights” is the first exhibition ever to address these issues. It is well known that the Impressionists were pioneers in painting, creating a new, free style that captured life outdoors with quick and masterful brushstrokes – a world away from the careful and contrived studio masterpieces of the salon painters of the mid-19th century. What is less known is that the Impressionists were not only pioneers in style, but in technique. This show – drawn from one of Germany’s largest collections of Impressionists, the Corboud Foundation in Cologne – exclusively deals with the painting techniques of the Impressionists and Postimpressionists and will be held at Palazzo Strozzi.
