Photo Gallery: Radical Light Exhibition

The Radical Light exhibition at the National Gallery in London (18 June to 7 September 2008) and Kunsthaus in Zurich (26 September 2008 to 11 January 2009) provides an opportunity to see paintings from Italian Divisionist and Futurist artists, painted between 1891 and 1910. (Read my reviews of the London exhibition and exhibition catalog.) Divisionism uses small, individual brushstrokes of pure color to build up luminosity in a painting. Viewed from a distance the "divided color" fuses together in the eye of the viewer..

The Radical Light exhibition was organized by the National Gallery, London and Kunsthaus in Zurich, curated by Simonetta Franquelli (a specialist in Italian art in the twentieth century), and sponsored by Credit Suisse.
