The MAN Museo d'Arte Provincia di Nuoro presents from Friday 11 February to Sunday 19 June 2022 the great anthology by Carlo Levi (Turin 1902 - Rome 1975) which pays tribute to the painter-writer in the 120 years since his birth , on the occasion of the anniversaries of his two trips to Sardinia , made in May 1952 and December 1962.

The exhibition documents the entire span of his research with 89 works including paintings, drawings and engravings, dated from 1925 to the early seventies . It avails itself of the collaboration of the Carlo Levi Foundation in Rome and loans from museums, public and private collections. It is enriched by the special production residency project that involved the artist Vittoria Soddu (Sassari 1986) with a triple intervention carried out with the production of the Sardegna Film Commission Foundation, conceived specifically for the exhibition itinerary.

The exhibition takes its title from All honey is finished, the book by Carlo Levi on Sardinia published by Einaudi in 1964. The book is the story of the travels of 1952 and 1962, and is a palimpsest of natural, cultural, poetic and political landscapes . The MAN exhibition reconstructs the encounter between the artist and the island, offering the opportunity to immerse yourself in his painting, from beginnings to maturity.

Carlo Levi: all the honey is gone. Sardinia, painting is, at the same time, a monographic exhibition and a large anthology, spread over the three floors of the Museum. Dedicated to a protagonist of Italian history and culture of the twentieth century, it is an invitation to rethink his legacy in the present.
