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.

Palazzo Strozzi
| 
|
Where & When
Date: March 8- July 20, 2014
Location: Palazzo Strozzi
|
|
|
Organised by: Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi
Curated by: Carlo Falciani and Antonio Natali
Palazzo Strozzi will be hosting until 20 July 2014 a major exhibition entitled Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino. Diverging Paths of Mannerism, devoted to the work of Pontormo and of Rosso Fiorentino, the two painters who were without question the most original and unconventional adepts of the new way of interpreting art in that season of the Italian Cinquecento which Giorgio Vasari called the 'modern manner'.
Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino trained under Andrea del Sarto while maintaining a strongly independent approach and enormous freedom of expression. Pontormo, always a favourite with the Medici, was a painter open to stylistic variety and to a renewal of the traditional approach to composition. Rosso Fiorentino, on the other hand, was more tightly bound to tradition, yet at the same time he was fully capable of flights of originality and innovation, influenced also by Cabalistic literature and esoteric works.
