Alberto Moravia: I Don鈥檛 Know Why I Didn鈥檛 Become A Painter
GAM dedicates to Alberto Moravia an exhibition curated by Luca Beatrice and Elena Loewenthal as part of the project 鈥淏orn To Narrate. Rediscovering Alberto Moravia鈥�.
The exhibitionat the Wunderkammer aims to offer an ideal collection of the artists Moravia thought very highly of and wrote about often. It presents around 30 works from the Casa Museo Alberto Moravia in Rome as well as from private collections and an important group of paintings and drawings held at GAM. What emerges is an interesting portrait of Italian art seen through the lens of literature, not always aligned with dominant trends or fashions. The works selected for the exhibition are accompanied by excerptstaken mainly from Alberto Moravia, Non so perch茅 non ho fatto il pittore, edited by Alessandra Grandelis, Milan, Bompiani, 2017, which has given the exhibition its title and which evokes the relationship of mutual esteem and, oftentimes, friendship with the artists who are displayed here.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue published by Silvana Editoriale that gathers images of the works on display and essays by the curators.
