closed Mario Lattes multifaceted artist

The show

On the occasion of the Lattes Grinzane 2019 Award, whose La Quercia section this year awards the world-famous writer Haruki Murakami, the Bottari Lattes Foundation, in collaboration with Famija Albèisa, proposes the exhibition "Mario Lattes multifaceted artist", which opens on Saturday 5 October in Alba and can be visited until 27 October 2019, with free admission (Famija Albèisa, via P. Belli 6).

The exhibition offers over thirty little-known works never exhibited in Alba and in the Cuneo area and focuses in particular on watercolors, gouache and mixed media works made on paper, such as Marionette (1989), Studio di testa (1984), Amphitheater with black cloud (1970), Great bird and ruin (1971), Living room of via Calandra (1978). These are flanked by oil paintings ( Nude on the carpet , 1985) and engravings ( La rosa , 1970), better known to the public.

The works on display document the versatility of Mario Lattes ' talent (Turin, 1923-2001) and the different forms of expression he experimented with during his career as a painter, engraver, writer and publisher. Refined artist, capable of giving life to dream images, Mario Lattes has experimented with heterogeneous techniques and languages, with which he expressed the pain of existence and his own claim of freedom from any prejudice. His work contains moments of inspiration, now abstract, now expressionist, now visionary, to arrive at visual suggestions, without ever being imprisoned in categories or movements.

The exhibition is enriched by the exhibition of volumes and writings by Mario Lattes, including novels such as Il borghese di ventura (Einaudi, 1975; Marsilio, 2013), L'incendio del Regio (Einaudi, 1976; Marsilio, 2011), the degree thesis The Warsaw Ghetto (Edizioni Cenobio, 2015) and some publications of Questioni , a magazine founded by Lattes in 1953 (initially with the title of Gallery).

“Mario Lattes multifaceted artist” was created with the support of the Piedmont Region, the Municipality of Alba, the International White Truffle Fair of Alba, the Municipality of Monforte d'Alba, Cantina Terre del Barolo.
