Fondazione Prada presents in Milan Sanguine. Luc Tuymans on Baroque, an exhibition conceived as an intense visual experience presenting more than 80 works by contemporary artists and Old Masters.
Avoiding a chronological order or a historiographical approach, the exhibition, curated by the Belgian artist Luc Tuymans, evades the traditional notion of the Baroque. Tuymans evades the traditional notion of the Baroque and creates a dialogue between 17th century art, as well as the contemporary research, by placing artists and their role in society at the center of the exhibition narrative. The exhibition title suggests a multiplicity of perspectives to interpret the exhibited works, in which violence and its simulation, cruelty and dramatization, realism and exaggeration, disgust and wonder, terror and ecstasy coexist.
An illustrated book accompanies the exhibition, on sale online and at Fondazione Prada headquarters in Milan and Venice and at the Osservatorio.
