The Istituto Veneto for Zoran Music

The Istituto Veneto for Zoran MusicIn the centenary of the birth of artist Zoran Music, the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti wants to honour one of the most powerful witnesses of the twentieth century, with the exhibition Extreme figures, dedicated to the last 30 years of his work. From 3rd december to 7 March 2010.

Venice pays homage to Zoran Music (Gorizia 1909 – Venice 2005) with this exhibition commemorating the centenary of the artist’s birth.
A great man who so profoundly and tragically embodied the history of his times and an artist of international standing, viewed as one of the key figures of the twentieth century, Zoran Music hailed from Dalmatia, becoming Venetian by adoption, because he spent the last part of his life in Venice, after the horrific experience of deportation to Dachau. As a place of fusion between east and west, the city on the lagoon proved to be a source of inspiration and constant point of reference for the artist throughout his career.

Hosted by Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, Regione del Veneto and Arthemisia Group, the exhibition “Zoran Music. Estreme figure”, will be held in Palazzo Franchetti from 3 December 2009 to 7 March 2010.
Curated by Giovanna Dal Bon, the show features more than eighty works, some of which are exhibited for the first time: an opportunity to explore the artist’s atmospheric world and the memories he reprocessed above all in Venice.
The show is structured into eight sections according to themes rather than chronological order, “areas of intensity” that mark the artist’s existential and creative development: Origins (1935-1949); The Wayfarer (mid 1990s); Venice, again (1980s and 1990s); Grey Figures (late 1990s); "I had to go back to Dachau" (1970s); Intense Space (1990s); Variations on Ida and Self Portrait (1980s and 1990s); Double Portrait (1983–2001).
