11 Jan 2014 - Kandinsky exhibition in Milan

From December 17th to April 27th Milan is hosting the exhibition dedicated to Vassily Kandinsky. The rooms of Palazzo Reale host the works of the famous painter belonging to the collection of the Centre Pompidou of Paris. The many creations trace the studies and the evolution of the Russian painter, from the time of post-impressionism to the abstract art, in all its shades, from the richest and most complex representations to the schematic and geometric ones. Many sketches and experiments too, with the most varied technics: lithography, xylography, drypoint.

Red stain, Yellow-red-blue, Composition IX are between the most famous paintings. You can find additional information on the official website.

Considered the father of abstract painting, Kandinsky wrote several treatises concerning not only painting but also its relationship with the music. In his works forms and colors represent the means by which the artist can stimulate the feelings of the observer. He made a famous comparison between painting and music, in which the eyes are the hammers and the colors are the keys of the grand piano that represents the soul.

The exhibition is extensive and well-organized. At the entrance, included in the ticket price, you can pick up the audio guide that allows you to listen to the explanations of the main works and some insights. Reduced ticket with different cards (ATM, COOP, etc).

Despite being a painting exhibition this is also an interesting chance for all lovers of photography. Visit is highly recommended!

On a trip so rich a single gallery couldn't be enough, so here are more photos of Normandy, precisely from the area of the famous landing to Mont Saint-Michel.

30 Aug 2013 - A few days in Paris>> read

After publishing the gallery I realized I had something to write about Paris. In the end I have been there already four times and I felt like I had to tell my impressions, especially after this last travel, where I noted much more things than I did the other times.

28 Aug 2013 - Section Paris has been created

Here is a section I wanted to upload since a long time. The problem is I had not enough pictures. The travel recently done in Normandy (a dedicated section is coming soon), with a stop in Paris, finally gave ne the chance to upload this gallery. Monuments, characteristic places and much more. Maybe some photos are not very original, but others are not that bad... The most have been taken in Montmartre.

27 Aug 2013 - Gallery update

Photos started to be a bit too many to be contained in a unique gallery, so I decided to split them in subgalleries, each containing twelve photo collections. The main page shows a representative picture and the list of collections. Moreover it is possible to search within the whole website through the search tool on the top right corner of the page.
