LA TROTTOLA E IL ROBOT

The Pontedera Foundation for Culture is organizing a major exhibition that compares two aspects of creativity related to childhood: that of toys—created over time first by artisans and later by industry—and that of the representation and interpretation of children’s play, as expressed in the visual and plastic arts in Italy from the late 19th century to the second half of the 20th century. On display are masterpieces by Balla, De Chirico, Savinio, Cambellotti, Lloyd, Levi, Zandomeneghi, Casorati, and Mafai. Other artists—such as Muzzioli, Corcos, Boccioni, Muller, Erba, Magri, Sartorio, Capogrossi, Gentilini, Depero, and Natali, as well as Pasquarosa, De Pisis, Raphael, Severini, Novelli, Santoro, and Novak—contribute by exploring children’s perceptions and celebrating the wonder of play well into adulthood.
