Antonio Ligabue and Joan Mirò – Historic Infantry Museum of Rome.
Beginning September 28, 2024, the Historic Infantry Museum in Rome is hosting an exhibition dedicated to two outstanding artists, Antonio Ligabue and Joan Mirò. Ligabue (1899-1965), an Italian painter and sculptor, is famous for his expressionist art, which reflects the difficulties of his troubled life, marked by loneliness and mental health problems. Born in Switzerland, Ligabue found in painting a means to express his deepest emotions.
Joan Mirò (1893-1983), a Catalan artist, on the other hand, revolutionized art with his contribution to surrealism, characterized by bright colors and stylized forms. The exhibition in Rome presents about 140 works including paintings, sculptures and ceramics, offering a comprehensive overview of the work of both artists, uniting two different but equally fascinating creative universes.
