Bice Lazzari. The Languages of Her Time
Bice Lazzari was one of the most distinctive figures in twentieth-century Italian art. Her long artistic career developed from an early interest in the decorative arts to an increasingly personal exploration of abstraction, colour and sign. The exhibition “Bice Lazzari. The Languages of Her Time” offers an opportunity to rediscover the work of an artist whose research occupies a significant place in the history of Italian modern art.
Bice Lazzari and Italian abstract art
Born in Venice in 1900, Bice Lazzari developed her artistic language during a period of profound transformation in Italian and European culture. Her work gradually moved away from figurative representation, concentrating on the relationship between line, rhythm, colour and space.
This evolution led her towards an essential and highly individual form of abstraction. Rather than following a single movement, Lazzari pursued an independent path, characterised by formal discipline and continuous experimentation.
The exhibition “The Languages of Her Time”
The exhibition dedicated to Bice Lazzari highlights the different phases of her career and places her work within the wider context of twentieth-century Italian art.
Paintings, works on paper and compositions reveal the coherence of her research and the importance she attributed to balance, structure and visual rhythm. The exhibition also contributes to the renewed critical attention surrounding an artist whose position within Italian abstraction has become increasingly recognised.
Rediscovering Bice Lazzari
Today, the work of Bice Lazzari is appreciated by museums, scholars and collectors interested in Italian twentieth-century art. Her paintings and works on paper provide an important testimony to the development of abstraction in Italy and to the contribution of women artists to modern European culture.
At Egidi MadeinItaly, the study of Bice Lazzari forms part of a broader research into Italian modern art and the artists who shaped its evolution.
