Renato Guttuso: on the banks of the Nile
For the first time, the Pirelli Foundation is displaying the works of Renato Guttuso, created by the artist for Pirelli beginning in the late 1950s.
The exhibit, entitled “Renato Guttuso: on the banks of the Nile”, includes 5 Indian Ink drawings and an oil on canvas painting, all inspired by the artist’s travels with Giovanni Pirelli along the banks of the Nile in 1959.
From Thebes to Memphis, from Luxor to Cairo, the illustrations depicted mythical lands populated by locals going about their daily routine, brought to life through the unmistakable strokes of Renato Guttuso.
The exhibit is open to the public (appointment required) Monday through Friday from 10:00am to 5:00pm. For bookings, call +39-0264423971 or write to info@fondazionepirelli.org.
