Chagall. Dream of Love

DESCRIPTION

From April 20 to October 27, 2024, the Polo Museale – Conti Acquaviva D’Aragona Castle in Conversano will host the exhibition “Chagall. Dream of Love.” More than 100 works including paintings, drawings, watercolors and engravings by the artist will be on display.

The Polo Museale – Conti Acquaviva D’Aragona Castle in Conversano will host from April 20 to October 27, 2024 the exhibition Chagall. Dream of Love, curated by Dolores Duràn Ucàr, produced and organized by Arthemisia, promoted and supported by the City of Conversano City of Art and Museco – Museums in Conversano. The Italian voice of the exhibition is entrusted to art historian Francesca Villanti. Exhibition idea by Comediarting.

To narrate the entire life and work of Marc Chagall, more than one hundred works including paintings, drawings, watercolors and etchings by the artist will be on display; a nucleus of rare works , certified and authorized by the Fondation Chagall, from private collections.

Intended to have a strong emotional impact, the exhibition aims to tell the story of Chagall’s world, steeped in awe and wonder. In the works coexist childhood memories, fairy tales, poetry, religion and exodus, a universe of brightly colored dreams, of intense hues that give life to landscapes populated by characters, real or imaginary, who crowd into the artist’s imagination: a dreamlike imagery in which it is difficult to define the boundary between reality and dream. Love is the common thread that unites all of Chagall’s production: love for religion, for his homeland, for his wife, for the world of fairy tales, for art.

The exhibition will also be enriched by many multimedia supports such as videos, educational insights, and immersive tools.
