Pascali - Leoncillo due artisti a confronto
The main floor of Palazzo Collicola, hosts an exhibition of sculptors Pino Pascali and Leoncillo Leonardi.The works come from the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome and from private collections. The purpose of this exhibition is to attempt, for the first time, a comparison between two artists who are different in generation and expressive style, who both passed away in 1968 to a few days apart, and of whom the similarities seem exceedingly singular.
By Leoncillo Leonardi, from Spoleto, whom Cesare Brandi called the third Italian sculptor of the 20th century after Marini and Manzù, the last informal path is documented, after an intense neo-Cubist phase.Pascali was the progenitor of Arte Povera and perhaps the most strongly inventive artist of the genre.
