DE PISIS

The Museo del Novecento dedicates a large-scale review to the Italian artist Filippo de Pisis, a leading figure of the XXth century artistic scenario with a key role into the Italian painting between the two wars. With its city views, still life and seascapes the exhibition displays in Milan more than ninety paintings from the artist’s most lyrical production until March 2020.

“De Pisis”, promoted and produced by Comune di Milano | Cultura and by Electa publishing house with the support of Associazione per Filippo de Pisis, is curated by Pier Giovanni Castagnoli with Danka Giacon – curator of the Museo del Novecento.

The exhibition - presented in ten halls – follows a chronological path introducing to the viewer the universe of Filippo de Pisis (Ferrara, 1896 – Milan, 1956), starting from his debut in 1916 and from the meeting with De Chirico’s metaphysical painting and culminating with the early 50s, with his tragic hospitalization into the Villa Fiorita mental institution. The exhibited artworks come from the main Italian museum collections, including the Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea of Ferrara, the Museo delle Regole Mario Rimoldi of Cortina d’Ampezzo, the Galleria d’Arte Moderna of Turin, the Mart in Trento and Rovereto, Ca’ Pesaro in Venice and the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome.
As a versatile painter, persistent traveler and poet, de Pisis passed through the XXth century crossing countries and artistic movements without ever complying to a unique trend. The several journeys to Milan, Rome, Venice, Paris and London provided a rich international perspective which ensured the uniqueness of his style , inspiring his artistic research and influencing his painting.
From “Le cipolle di Socrate” (1926) to “Soldatino francese” (1937), the exhibited artworks recall the main themes of the Italian artist. Emphasis is placed on his versatile brilliance and on the richness in subjects, ranging over the picturesque mountain landscapes to the most refined portraiture – able to brightly grasp the character personality without underestimating the still life compositions and the cityscapes.
Starting from springtime 2020 the exhibition will be hosted by the Museo Nazionale Romano of Altemps Palace, accordingly with the program dedicated to the Italian Novecento.

The exhibition is completed by a shared catalogue for the two venues, published by Electa.
