American Beauty

From Robert Capa to Banksy

The Centro Culturale Altinate/San Gaetano, Padova Itally

from September 13, 2023 to January 21, 2024

 

a selection of 130 works of art is presented that tell the lights and shadows of the nation that has characterized the last century more than any other globally: the United States.
The exhibition, organized by Artika in collaboration with the Municipality of Padua and Kr8te, is curated by Daniel Buso.
120 international artists offer this original portrait of the States.

The exhibition path welcomes absolute masters of photography such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Diane Arbus and Elliott Erwitt, to move on to the color images of Steve McCurry, Vanessa Beecroft and Annie Leibovitz.
Next to the photograph you can admire the creations of the protagonists of Pop Art (James Rosenquist, Robert Indiana and Andy Warhol) and the performers of Street Art: Keith Haring, Mr. Brainwash, Obey and Banksy.
From the famous propaganda image of Joe Rosenthal (who exalted Iwo Jima's American victory over Japan in 1945), to the anarchist revolts in Banksy's murals, for an original and strictly star-stripe exhibition.
