Ritmi e Toni | Jürgen Durner | Giorgio Tonelli | Marcello Corrà


Urban landscape is one of the most loved subjects by artists and, from impressionists on, it faced an evolution which turned it into the most reliable genre to depict the changes of our society. From the horse races in frenetic and libertine Paris during the end of the 19th century, described by Degas or Manet, to the glimpses of Occitan towns, reworked by Van Gogh through his own nightmares. From the solemn and tragic architectures by Sironi, consequence of the darkest years between the two World Wars, to the conformist and hypocrite America staged by Hopper, and its desolate roads and nightspots lightened up by a cruel and cold light. The metropolis intended as a window to our soul or, better, as a mirror of the wickedness of a society which, today more than ever, limps along looking for a strong identity.
