Giovedi 14 dicembre – Conference on American Art and Quiz show – Auditorium Club House

18:00 American Art: the new frontier!

1940-1960 -The new Paris is in New York! A trip to the USA is paramount to our understanding of modern art as many European artists find shelter and a fertile terrain here during WW2. Ideas and stimuli bounce back and forth in this International and creative melting pot where the new credo will be Abstract Expressionism. Join us to learn about the spontaneous gestural expressions of Pollock, the all-encompassing emotional canvases of Rothko, the mixed media installations of Rauschenberg and many more profoundly influential American sensibilities.

 Keynote speaker : Art historian Serena Spinelli 

She holds a Bachelor of Arts with high honours in Art History; a Master of Arts from the University of East Anglia, UK;and a diploma from Sotheby’s Institute in London
