La Galleria d’<strong>Art</strong>e Frediano<br />

Farsetti inaugura la sua stagione<br />

invernale a Cortina d’Ampezzo<br />

con una mostra monografica su<br />

Roberto Marcello Baldessari, in arte<br />

“Iras”, proseguendo così il suo percorso<br />

di avvicinamento al centenario del<br />

Futurismo, iniziato con la mostra<br />

estiva dedicata a Fortunato Depero.<br />

<strong>Art</strong>ista nato a Innsbruck da gen<strong>it</strong>ori<br />

roveretani, formatosi prima presso<br />

la Scuola Elisabettiana di Rovereto,<br />

poi all’Accademia di Venezia e<br />

successivamente alla Scuola di Santa<br />

Croce di Firenze, conobbe lungo l’arco<br />

della sua v<strong>it</strong>a tutti i maggiori esponenti<br />

della principale avanguardia artistica<br />

<strong>it</strong>aliana.<br />

alla (ri)scoperta di Baldessari<br />

di Denis Westber<br />

modi p<strong>it</strong>torici boccioniani, Baldessari,<br />

stabil<strong>it</strong>osi a Firenze, sentirà l’influsso<br />

dell’ambiente futurista toscano, che<br />

grav<strong>it</strong>ava intorno alle figure di Ardengo<br />

Soffici ed Ottone Rosai, spesso riun<strong>it</strong>i<br />

presso lo storico Caffè delle Giubbe<br />

Rosse. Gli anni Venti sono occasione<br />

di frequenti spostamenti per l’Europa,<br />

che lo porteranno a soggiornare ad<br />

Hannover, dove conoscerà i p<strong>it</strong>tori<br />

Vorfemberge-Gildewart e Kurt<br />

Schw<strong>it</strong>ters, che lo avvicineranno alla<br />

poetica Dada, mai però recep<strong>it</strong>a dal<br />

pubblico <strong>it</strong>aliano.<br />

Durante gli anni Trenta, accanto ad<br />

esperimenti nel solco del Secondo<br />

futurismo e dell’areop<strong>it</strong>tura, in<br />

sintonia con Gerardo Dottori e Enrico<br />

Prampolini, Baldessari si volgerà<br />

IRAS (Re)discovering Roberto Marcello<br />

Baldessari<br />

The Frediano Farsetti <strong>Art</strong> Gallery will inaugurate<br />

<strong>it</strong>s winter season in Cortina d’Ampezzo w<strong>it</strong>h a<br />

monographic exhib<strong>it</strong> on Roberto Marcello Baldessari,<br />

known as “Iras” in the art world. This show represents<br />

a continuation of the gallery’s events leading up to<br />

Futurism’s centennial, which they in<strong>it</strong>iated over the<br />

summer w<strong>it</strong>h an exhib<strong>it</strong>ion dedicated to Fortunato<br />

Depero.This new show thoroughly documents<br />

Baldessari’s multifarious artistic production and is<br />

divided into four parts – the number that the<br />

organizers of this true artistic event required. The<br />

exhib<strong>it</strong>ion begins w<strong>it</strong>h the artist’s first phase of “abstract<br />

experimentation”, which lasted from 1914-16 and<br />

is similar to Boccioni’s studies on dynamism and<br />

simultane<strong>it</strong>y. The second part displays “landscape<br />

and still life” studies, where the figurative element is<br />

still explored through a dynamic approach, similar<br />

to certain experimentations by Ardengo Soffici. The<br />

third section is ent<strong>it</strong>led “synthesis and figure”, while<br />

the fourth and final section focuses on the “dynamic<br />

world”. This exemplary exhib<strong>it</strong>ion represents a new<br />

and significant step towards understanding and<br />

valorising one artist from a generation of painters<br />

who were hastily classified by cr<strong>it</strong>ics for many years<br />

as “Second Futurism”, but which was instead a<br />

generation that marked a fundamental stage in the<br />

Italian Avant-Garde. The exhib<strong>it</strong> can be vis<strong>it</strong>ed in<br />

Cortina d’Ampezzo at the Frediano Farsetti <strong>Art</strong><br />
