Sergio Romiti, 50 years since the great anthologic exposition in Bologna

The work of Sergio Romiti (Bologna, 1928-2000) will be analyzed. He is one of the most interesting artists of the italian and international scene in the second half of the '900. 2016 is the fiftieth anniversary of the great anthologic exposition with which, in fact, the Gallery of modern art of Bologna was inaugurated in 1976 (Today named MAMBO).

Section 2

Thumbs up, thumbs down
Art in Verona during the first half of the '900: Birolli and Flangini

Two artists born and operating in Verona during the first half of the '900 will be analyzed, Renato Birolli (Verona, 1905-Milano, 1959) and Giuseppe Flangini (Verona, 1898-1961).
Sepcifications of both the artists will be highlighted, emphasizing that the first deserves a careful redefinition and a solid revaluation, while the second, despite being an moderately interesting artist, will be strongly debunked compared with the embarassing promotion he has enjoyed.

Essential bibliography:

A text will be available in good time for the final test.

Examination Methods

Assessment methods and criteria

The examination test focuses on artists and their works and views present in texts, which the student must know. The exam consists of a written test. The main valuation parameters are: 1) actual interest and level of preparation; 2) mastery of the field of study; 3) argumentative capacity; 4) expressive quality. Please note that texts with copyright cannot be reproduced by any means, including the photocopy, which has not been authorized, and in any case not exceeding 15%. Please note that the purchase of texts is free and can be replaced by loan librarian.


Reception mode

There are two types offered: front reception and telematics. The use of e-mail has become in recent years a very beloved by students, especially those who have difficulties to go to the front, those who do not attend classes, those who are in Erasmus etc., and then becomes necessary a useful formalization. Therefore, in addition to the front reception, for which it is advisable to book via email, the electronic receipt shall be established, usually on Wednesday, for mail that is believed to have caused a response (if the e-mail address is accepted and the student has sent the mail to the right address: please then take note: pasini.roberto@univr.it).


Thesis

Students who wish to graduate, for both the bachelor's and master's degree, must according to common sense have in contemporary art history exams an average justifying a thesis in this matter. To carry out the thesis, is an iteration support practice, for both the bachelor and master degree (for students who have graduated with a bachelor's degree in another field). The student is invited to submit to the Professor three arguments, and then the one in which thesis will be carried out will be choiced. Regardless of the field in which you are graduating, students are required to submit a thesis in Secretariat only after having supported all exams. One cannot take account of any requests made by students who have not respected this rule elementary fairness.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
