The first monographic exhibition of Nathaniel Mary Quinn in Italy, Split Face, is on view at the Museo Novecento and the Museo Stefano Bardini in Florence. Alongside the works of Renaissance painters and twentieth-century masters such as Donatello, Luca della Robbia, Felice Casorati, Virgilio Guidi, Carlo Levi, and many more, there is a selection of Quinn’s paintings, many of which have never been shown before.

“An important exhibition that brings for the first time in Florence and /ta/y a monographie exhibition of one of the most disruptive artists on the international scene,” said Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Culture Alessia Bettini. ‘:-4 double stage that features the art of Nathaniel Mary Quinn in declination between Museo Bardini and Museo Novecento, putting us in front of more than portraits to real two-dimensional sculptures. A dialogue between Renaissance inspiration, Cubism, and Surrealism that becomes a composition strongly anchored to current events and the every day, to faces, to people, to the breakdown of the personality and characters of each. And Florence, once again, is ready to highlight its expressive power.”
