A distanza di 10 anni dalla prima esposizione, la Galleria Russo ripropone una antologica di grande valore, dedicata esclusivamente a "Duilio Cambellotti illustratore". In questa occasione è stato presentato il corpus più imponente della sua attività di illustratore, che ha inizio all'apertura del XX secolo con le tavole per la "Divina Commedia" edita da Alinari. Per la prima volta sarà riunita l'intera serie delle tempere originali de "Le mille e una notte" (1912), recentemente notificata, poiché di grande rilevanza artistica, dal Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali. Tra le altre illustrazioni in mostra, quelle appartenenti al ciclo de "Il palio di Siena" (1932), la serie di copertine per la "Conquista della terra" (1935-1939), le illustrazioni per il "Gregorovius" (1948-1950). Il catalogo comprende la schedatura scientifica delle opere, introdotte da un saggio critico di Fabio Benzi.

Among distinguished contemporary designers, Alessandro Mendini is perhaps most deserving of the overused title of Renaissance man. Painter, writer, architect, theorist, designer: his work in all these fields has influenced generations of other artists and craftsmen and delighted even those who don't know his name but have entered his spaces (like his stores for Alessi and Swatch), sipped from his espresso cups and rested in his chairs. Through his work as a founder of Studio Alchimia in 1979 and editor of the magazines "Casabella," "Modo" and "domus," Mendini has fought the strictures of modernism and championed the expressive value of decoration, which is the foundation for the development of his designs. This book offers a window into Mendini's working methods by presenting some 2,000 of his introductory designs, sketches, and texts that would eventually be realized as objects and buildings. This one-of-a-kind archive is both an important contribution to the history of design for scholars and students and a source of inspiration for designers and artists.

Ramuntcho Matta, Marilù Ortiz De Rozas
Aguilar Chilena de Ediciones

Ramuntcho (1960) is the youngest son of Roberto Matta. Architect, experimental musician, was a disciple of John Cage, and artist. In his drawings has developed a surreal aspect akin to his father. Up until now were unknown profuse and unpublished letters that Matta sent to his son revealing many aspects of the artists. A large selection of these letters are published in this book. The pages are interleaved with events and family photos, works of Matta, and excerpts from his biography.
