Marco Goldin returns to his Treviso with an exhibition of authentic masterpieces. Sixty paintings of the highest prestige, considering that in the halls of Santa Caterina will arrive works with a total value of one billion euros.
An exhibition that originates geographically from afar - it proposes the masterpieces of the 19th and 20th centuries from the Toledo Museum of Art, in Ohio - and even more so in Goldin's soul, who, as a student in Venice at Ca' Foscari, discovers Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio and is fascinated by the landscape and characters, equally protagonists.
It also arises from a closer opportunity: the American Museum will undergo a significant modernization and expansion, and a core of its most beautiful works will travel around the world. Touching mainly the Southern Continent and only Treviso in Europe. Given Goldin's long-standing relationship with the American Museum, a truly special edition of the exhibition will arrive in Treviso. The curator has indeed obtained an integration of the corpus destined to travel the world, aiming at an additional core of absolute quality works that are being exhibited for the first time outside the Museum and that, after this occasion, will not be able to be admired except by going to Ohio. The Toledo Museum of Art is in fact traditionally a very jealous institution of its countless masterpieces and rarely lends even one.
By the choice of the critic, the exhibition's path will go back in art history, starting from American abstraction of the second half of the 20th century, from Richard Diebenkorn to Morris Louis, from Ad Reinhardt to Helen Frankenthaler, to then move on to some key experiences of European abstraction, from Ben Nicholson and Josef Albers to Piet Mondrian and Paul Klee, to then deepen the transition from the 19th to the 18th century and then the three major themes: still life, figures and portraits, landscapes.
In the first case, two of the greatest artists who dedicated themselves to still life in the 20th century will appear, such as Giorgio Morandi and Georges Braque, while Henri Fantin-Latour and Camille Pissarro, in the full time of the formation of the Impressionist group, will speak, especially the former, of the refinement to which this theme led the best painters.
Very extensive is the section dedicated to portraits, figures, and figures in settings that offers an exciting sequence of works, starting from Matisse, Bonnard, and Vuillard, to arrive at De Chirico and Modigliani and a splendid cubist Picasso from 1909.
Then the relationship, on the theme of figures in the open air, between the overseas impressionists and the French impressionists, with works by William Merritt Chase, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro to arrive at Courbet and Millet. The masterpieces of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edouard Manet, and Edgar Degas give spectacular and absolute value to this section.
