Guided Visit of Medardo Rosso

The Center for Italian Modern Art was established in 2013 to promote the study and appreciation of Italian twentieth-century art. Each year, from October to June, we focus on one artist, often little known or rarely exhibited in the United States, as the theme or platform for our annual installation, public programming, and fellowship program.

Our second season is devoted to the Italian sculptor Medardo Rosso (1858-1928), a contemporary and rival of Rodin. The installation, anchored by major loans from the Museo Medardo Rosso in Italy, will feature nearly a dozen sculptures, 30 drawings, and some 55 photographs. The show explores the artist's mastery of abstraction, light, and shadow, as well as his tendency to return again and again to the same subject, rendering a familiar form in an array of diverse materials from plaster, wax, and bronze to photography and drawing. The exhibition marks the U.S. debut for the majority of the works, and is the first time that a comprehensive group of drawings by Rosso will be on public display.

CIMA is conceived more as a home, in order to offer an intimate art viewing experience, different from what you might find in a typical museum or gallery. You are invited to have an espresso, talk with the fellows, and linger afterward.

Reserve your spot now! Guided visits are available on Fridays and Saturdays at 11:00 am, 1:00 pm, and 3:00 pm.
