Jackson Pollock & Michelangelo, Palazzo Vecchio
| 
|
Where & When
Date: 21 March to 30 August
Location: Palazzo Vecchio
|
|
|
A springtime show featuring drawings and paintings by the American artist
Jackson Pollock, the undoubted master of action painting, comes to Florence for a virtual comparison with Renaissance genius, Michelangelo Buonarroti. The exhibition in question, entitled
La figura della furia [The figure of fury], which, inspired by the studies of the American painter during his youth and by his interest in Michelangelo's work, offers a comparison between styles, subjects, stories and very different worlds.
Pollock's shapelessness mirrors Michelangelo's unfinished work, the Renaissance with its classical Florentine and Italian form is painted in perfect contrast with the American's artist anti-form.
