Arte In Italia, Deco, 1919-1939 (Book) by Francesca Cagianelli, Dario Matteoni. Paperback, 2009, 240 pages, Very Good Condition, in blister pack. In Italian. Publisher Silvana Editoriale.
Déco expresses the search for a modernity that intends to go beyond the simple functionality of forms by adding elegance and persuasion to them: it is inspired by the geometries of the universe of the machine, the prismatic forms of metropolitan constructions and the models of a classicism. equally convincing in their canons of elegance.
The exhibition, documented by this catalogue, favours a pictorial production which, from the decorativism still linked to the experience of freedom of Galileo Chini, Umberto Brunellechi or Duilio Cambellotti, passes to use the formal ideas of futurism, as demonstrated by the works of Giacomo Balla, Fortunato Depero, Diulgheroff and Fillia, without forgetting the classicist solicitations which are expressed in the plastic modelling and the sinuosity of the forms, as evidenced by the works of Mario Sironi, Achille Funi, Ubaldo Oppi, Gino Severini, Felice Casorati.
However, exemplary aspects related to the decorative arts are also documented, in order to offer a complete vision of the different facets with which the decorative taste presents itself in Italy: alongside the posters, the production that the Milanese architect Giò Ponti created for the ceramic industry of Richard Ginori, widely rewarded at the Paris Exhibition of 1925, and the activity of Vittorio Zecchin balanced between pictorial decoration and the production of refined glass.
