European art of the 20th century was characterized by many changes, a continuous search between form and concept, figuration and abstraction, colour and line, tradition and innovation, mapping artistic ideals born in an area of change.
Realism, expressionism, informal or impressionism, fauvism, metaphysics… Art is always a process of constant rupture, of overcoming boundaries and seeking the infinite, but it is especially in this era.
Wuji is this definition, the breaking of boundaries and limits. This concept animates the entire exhibition and selection, presenting 62 masterpieces by the greatest Italian and European artists of the period, outlining the evolutionary path from classical art to modern avant-garde, showing the historical transformation from figurative art to abstract art.
Important works by 47 representative masters of the 20th century including van Gogh, Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Kandisky, Morandi, René Magritte, Giacomo Balla, de Chirico and Lucio Fontana are exhibited for the first time in China.
A careful selection of artworks makes up this great international project created to enhance the collection of the only Italian museum entirely dedicated to modern and contemporary art, one of the largest and most important in the world: the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea of Rome.
“The Infinite Universe of Wuji” is a collaboration in occasion of the 2022 Italy-China Year of Culture and Tourism.
