The volume “Alfredo Volpi: Lucca–São Paulo (1896-1988)” accompanying the first Italian exhibition at @centropecci, Prato, that celebrated #AlfredoVolpi, a key figure of Brazilian modernism, is now available at the link in bio.
Born in Lucca in 1896 and having moved to São Paulo at the age of two, Volpi intertwined his art with the transformations of the twentieth century, combining modernity, tradition, and popular motifs. His works address universal themes while maintaining a strong connection to local culture, exploring representation, abstraction, daily life, and religious iconography.
Volpi’s unique style drew inspiration from the vernacular architecture of São Paulo, European avant-gardes such as #PaulCézanne, #HenriMatisse, #PietMondrian, #JosefAlbers, and Italian artists like #CarloCarrà and #GiorgioMorandi. The exhibition, curated by Cristiano Raimondi (@cristianoraimondi) and organized with the support of the Alfredo Volpi Institute of Modern Art and @almeidadale, covers four themes central to his work from the 1940s to the 1970s, his most prolific period.
This richly illustrated publication highlights Volpi as a great colorist and master craftsman, and his works as products of a methodical and meditative process, characterized by two-dimensional geometric patterns and the use of color as a structural element.
In the 1950s, Volpi’s urban views transformed into a geometric syntax, revisited in the following decades. The exhibition also celebrates the 150th anniversary of Italian immigration to Brazil, highlighting the influence of Italian cultures in Brazilian artistic languages. Volpi—the man and the historic figure—is also personally described in the exhibition and catalogue thanks to extensive research and archival materials published here for the first time.

OUT SOON: The very first monograph on the at once fragile yet flamboyant work of Bruno Pélassy (1966, Laos – 2002, Nice) featuring unpublished materials from the artist’s archive.
Trained in textile and jewellery design, Pélassy incorporated techniques from both haute couture and second-hand cultures of a throwaway society, blending fragile materials like glass and crystal with everyday objects. Significantly shaped by an early diagnosis of HIV at the age of twenty-one, the artist’s work ponders the ambivalent poetics of death. His creations range from sculptures and bijoux to films and drawings, challenging rigid norms of gender, nature, and social values, and offering a sensual, eccentric, and multifaceted vision.
Launching in Paris at @progra.mm.e on November 8! Follow the link in bio to receive a notification when the volume is available.
