Extended program

Through the analysis of visual and written sources, we will deepen the various elements that, in the various phases of the creative process, contribute to the experimentation of formal themes and solutions.
After an introduction on the legacy of Cézanne, the cases of Picasso, Derain, Matisse, Balla, De Chirico and Mondrian will be examined in particular.
