Museo d’Arte moderna di Nuovo – MAN

The shadow of the sea on the hill

Works from the MAN collection

From Friday 8 November 2019 to Sunday 12 January 2020, the MAN of Nuoro presents, in parallel with the Anna Marongiu retrospective, the exhibition The shadow of the sea on the hill , a precious selection of works taken from the museum’s permanent collection, curated by Luigi Fassi and Emanuela Manca.

The exhibition offers a new interpretation of the MAN collection, telling in a new way more than a century of art in Sardinia through a varied corpus of drawings, paintings and sculptures. The itinerary reconstructs the artistic events of the Sardinian twentieth century through some of the most representative works of the collection and continues up to the present, establishing a close dialogue with various contemporary authors.

It is a work by Mauro Manca that gives the exhibition its title, chosen due to the clear divide that it marks between figurative and abstract experiences: unanimously considered the crucial passage for the opening, after the Second World War, of the horizons of art modern in Sardinia, The shadow of the sea on the hill of the Sassari artist is the hub around which the entire exhibition project revolves.

The exhibition recounts the heterogeneity of Sardinian artistic history, brings together different worlds and styles, traditions and experiments, and reveals the new acquisitions of Aldo Contini and Mario Paglietti.
Among the artists on display there are some of the key figures for the development of the different expressive canons that have characterized the Sardinian artistic scene from the twentieth century to today: Edina Altara, Antonio Ballero, Alessandro Biggio, Giuseppe Biasi, Giovanni Campus, Teodorico Cavallazzi, Cristian Chironi, Francesco Ciusa, Giovanni Ciusa Romagna, Aldo Contini, Mario Delitala, Francesca Devoto, Salvatore Fancello, Dino Fantini, Gino Frogheri, Vincenzo Grosso, Caterina Lai, Maria Lai, Mauro Manca, Melkiorre Melis, Wanda Nazzari, Costantino Nivola, Mario Paglietti , Bernardino Palazzi, Rosanna Rossi, Giacinto Satta, Vincenzo Satta, Tona Scano, Antonio Secci.
