« Né au cours des années 1960 et 1970, l'art urbain est devenu un phénomène artistique planétaire. Exercé au départ gratuitement et sans autorisation dans l'espace public, il agrège des pratiques et des formes aussi diverses que le graffiti, le muralisme ou le street art, et charrie des influences qui vont de la publicité aux cultures de masse en passant par le militantisme. Sans former un véritable mouvement, tous ces artistes n'en ont pas moins des points communs. Parmi eux, la capacité à œuvrer dans la ville en toute liberté, avec une remarquable économie de moyens. Quatre auteurs reviennent sur les origines de l'art urbain, depuis l'émergence de pratiques contextuelles et du graffiti writing dans les années 1960 jusqu'à sa reconnaissance publique, institutionnelle, médiatique et même marchande. Quatre regards complémentaires, portés sur un mouvement hétérogène, car accessible à tous. » -- Résumé de l'éditeur.

The exhibition at Villa La Quiete focuses on three important Renaissance sculptures, which had never been exposed to the public before. On this occasion, the works were carefully restored, continuing on the path of the previous restauration of the Villa's artistic heritage at the hands of the University of Florence; the new restoration was supported by the Terna group, whose liberal donation helped restore one of the works on display, namely the beautiful in stucco Madonna with Child from Lorenzo Ghiberti's workshop. This work comes with a rare terracotta piece of a Madonna with Child, by one of Donatello's followers, and a Christ, the Saviour, in painted terracotta as well, made by the artist Agnolo di Polo, who trained in Andrea Verrocchio's workshop. The three sculptures are a part of the oldest core of the Villa's collections, and represent a relevant example of the refined production of the multifaceted workshops of the Renaissance in Florence.

Paul Delaroche: Painting and Popular Spectacle explores the connections between painting and an emergent popular visual culture in the early nineteenth century, which included new forms of optical entertainment such as Panoramas and Dioramas and innovation in fields such as illustration, art reproduction, and stage decor. Delaroche's paintings caused a sensation at the Paris Salon, with critics comparing the emotional response they elicited to that of popular melodrama. Yet his appeal to a certain type of spectator lay behind the increasingly hostile criticism to which his works were subjected, and has in our own time led to his uncertain status in the art historical canon. This book focuses on Delaroche's popularity with a newly expanded audience. Lacking in specialist knowledge, but nevertheless keen to engage with and deeply affected by art, the behaviour of this new public prompted lively discussions about who has the right to judge art and on what grounds.Working across disciplinary boundaries, this book proposes a new reading both of Delaroche and of the connections between the arts in this period. The artist emerges as a figure at the cutting edge of an emergent trans-medial popular visual culture in which we see the formation of modern spectatorship.
