Milan, June 2014 – From June 12 2014 to September 12 2015 Banca Generali’s Milan office in Piazza S. Alessandro No. 4 hosts “Potenza del colore” or “Strength of colour,” a voyage through the chromatic universe of Mario Arlati in an artistic dialogue with the great masters of the past. Curated by Elisabetta Longari, the exhibition comprises 27 works made by the Milanese artist between the mid-1970s and today, alongside historical paintings by Guido Reni, Alessandro Magnasco, Carlo Cignani, Gianbattista Crosato and others. The classic-contemporary link, interconnected by a logical series of punctual and eloquent references, represents an innovative proposition of great significance; an experimental example of an artistic path centred on colour, aimed primarily at the first impact of perception.

The novelty of the setting, outside the classic museum institution, fits the innovative spirit of the show, combining Banca Generali’s passion and commitment, initiated years ago, along a path of protection and promotion of Italy’s artistic excellence.

The exhibition is open to the public on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and free entry can be obtained by sending an e-mail to: receptionprivatemi@bancagenerali.it
