Venice: Ca Pesaro – Raffaele Boschini –
Graphic Works 1912-1922 exhibition. The cycle
of dossier exhibitions at Ca’ Pesaro, hosted in room ten on the museum’s first floor, continues with an exhibition
focusing on the graphic works of Raffaele
Boschini, until September 30, in an attempt to draw out the Venetian
artist from the backstage to which he has hitherto been unjustly condemned.

Raffaele Boschini – Graphic Works 1912-1922.
The graphic works on show which
currently constitutes one of the largest collections in the museum’s Drawings and Prints Cabinet, cover the
artist’s youthful years, until 1922, in other words, from the time of his
occupation of the studio in Ca’ Pesaro until his first years in Milan, but
these are probably the most interesting ones in his entire artistic career.
Raffaele Boschini – Graphic Works
1912-1922. Boschini was one of the first artists to enter the Bevilacqua La
Masa studios, he immediately formed a bond with artist Ugo Valeri, who
tragically died at Ca’ Pesaro in 1911 but left a strong mark on Boschini. This
is confirmed by the slender but decisive lines of some figures in which we sense
the flavor of the 1920s that emerges strongly in his drawings and watercolors,
leaving a nostalgia for something that goes beyond the gaze to reach the
intimacy of the individual.
