The London branch of Turin's renowned Mazzoleni Art gallery is doing what it does best this summer? dedicating its walls to significant post-war Italian painters. Along with carefully sought archival memorabilia that has never been seen before in the UK, 14 proponents of the Pittura Analitica movement go on display, side-by-side.0The exhibition includes an impressive array of works from the 1970s, including pieces by Carlo Battaglia, Vincenzo Cecchini and Enza Cacciola. These artists in part made up the ambitious group, which wanted to 'repossess the language of painting', international curator Alberto Fiz explains. They aimed to throw away the rule book, taking painting law into their own hands, analysing it every step of the way.00Exhibition: Mazzoleni, Turin, Italy (17.03. - 11.06.2017).
