B di Beauté - Baudelaire / Boldini / Bellandi
CUBO Spazio Arte Unipol, Bologna
Modernity and beauty are the themes of the Unipol Group's new exhibition from the artistic heritage. Thanks to the loan of Portrait of Lady Nanne Schrader by Giovanni Boldini (courtesy of Bottegantica, Milan) and the pieces from Luca Bellandi's heritage, which he supplements with his most recent productions, the 200th anniversary of the birth of the poet of modernity, Charles Baudelaire, is commemorated.
"In Baudelaire's poetry, like that of Boldini and Bellandi, clothing is no longer an accessory, but the element that defines the wearer, becoming part of her, fusing with her personality, helping to make women an ideal of beauty, defining them both contingently and universally." […] “Clothing reminds us that beauty is destined to be lost and that it always carries within itself the elements of its transience. It is the symbol of an aesthetic that is aware of the transient nature of beauty and its close link with death."
