One goes back to the past: a Renaissance that, for artists, included a multidisciplinary approach between art and craft, and between different disciplines such as architecture, sculpture and painting. It is no coincidence that &#8211; as recalled by the curators of the exhibition &#8211; \u201cFlorentine architect Brunelleschi, for example, trained as a goldsmith, while Michelangelo was a painter and sculptor before he designed buildings\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The other standpoint, however, is the one that goes in the direction of the present. It shows how even today the fluidity of thought that ran through the art in the Renaissance is still alive. Five short films commissioned to coincide with this exhibition will indeed demonstrate how contemporary practitioners and thinkers are again attempting to blur the boundaries between media and forms of practice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Building the Picture&#8221; &#8211; which would be liked by Marcel Duchamp: &#8220;I&#8217;m interested in ideas, not only in visual products&#8221; &#8211; authorizes us to look for ideas in the works that have always been seen only as a visual product. And this is certainly a step forward in the ability to review the history of art through criteria that are different from the traditional ones. Principles that do not betray the scientific rigors with which to study the works, while at the same time increasing their potential significance, suggestion and charm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; At the National Gallery in London soon there will be an exhibition that will offer a very conceptual approach to Italian Renaissance art.\u00a0As stated on the website of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5242,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1793],"tags":[1643,1326,1644,1645,891,1642],"class_list":["post-5236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-to-be-discovered","tag-andrea-del-verrocchio","tag-antonello-da-messina","tag-carlo-crivelli","tag-sandro-botticelli","tag-sassetta","tag-sebastiano-del-piombo"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5236"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5236\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
