Lecture at the British Institute by James Bradburne
Italy in the 1930s, when Fascism held sway, was the scene of an extremely vigorous artistic battle in which every style from classicism to Futurism, from expressionism to abstract art, and from monumental art to decorative painting for the bourgeois home was involved. It was this complex and lively workshop, open to the international scene, which introduced the concept of modernity to Italy. James Bradburne, director of the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, explains the background to the important new exhibition now on at Palazzo Strozzi (until 27 January 2013).
Pictured: Renato Birolli, The Polo Players, 1933, Roma, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, inv. 8877.
All are welcome.

| Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee; take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of thy love; take my heart, it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne.
Hymn 707. Words: Francis Ridley Havergal (1836-1879), alt.
