La critique italienne M. Sarfatti, conseillère culturelle et . . maîtresse de Mussolini, forme un groupe d'artistes au début des années 1920. Celui-ci deviendra véritable mouvement officiel en 1926. Dès 1923, une première exposition du groupe se tient à Milan. L'art de ce groupe, qui obtient à la fois des subventions de tout ordre et des commandes de l'Etat, devient rapidement représentatif de l'art fasciste. Il a pour devise d'être populaire et d'attirer le plus large public possible. Il s'oppose à la notion d'Avant-garde et au Futurisme en renouant avec le Classicisme et la Renaissance italienne. La période fasciste le veut, le style est monumental, archaïsant et pompeux.
Les peintres mettent toute leur ardeur « créative » aux valeurs du temps : la nation, la famille, le travail, le courage, et tout ce qui peut attirer le peuple à son « bon guide ». Le mouvement disparaîtra en 1933.

Index chosen on the movements, important currents and events in the XX 2nd century art
I wanted to give here, with 46 various short introductions, some general elements on the movements or currents of art, groups or exhibitions, which concern the artists whose works are presented in gallery or were it recently. The table, above, will make it possible to visually locate the periods or dates in time.
Each entry is followed of a list of the principal artists belonging to the movement or current. It may be that there is only one simple relationship between such or such artist and the movement in which in theory one locates it (Click on the names in blue to reveal work or works currently in stock).
It will be understood, some movements are represented much than of others in my gallery. The same artist will be often found in several movements (as each one knows it, it was thus).
Although these some introductions, briefly developed, are not addressed to the specialists, they will forgive me the few lapses of memory or choices which would lend to discussion. I hope that these tiny introductions will be however useful to some of you. Michelle Champetier
