Piet Mondrian in Rome

The Piet Mondrian exhibition, “L´harmony perfetta”, recently opened in Rome, brings together masterpieces from collections as far afield as Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, the Denver Art Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa and the National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto. The exhibition has been curated by Benno Tempel, director of the Gemeentemuseum. At the beginning of the twentieth century Mondrian was already considered a successful landscape artist. But he was also obsessed with the idea of ??progress and convinced that he had a personal mission. He evolved a non-representational form which he termed Neo-Plasticism. This consisted of white ground, upon which was painted a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors. Mondrian was inspired by the theosophy of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, and his work is influenced by this concept. Blavatsky taught that one could achieve a deeper understanding of nature than that provided empirically. Mondrian believed that the work of art was to help provide this understanding. He said “only when we are genuinely within reality will art no longer be necessary.” This theosophy stems partly from the force acting between man and woman, something that Mondrian also represents in his work. The observer may not see it immediately, but knowing that the female element is represented by the horizontal and the masculine by the vertical, it becomes clear that Mondrian attributed an important role to these elements from the beginning, first in his figures and later in his abstract compositions. The quest for this universal harmony is the leitmotif of all his work. Mondrian painted his first cubist abstract work in 1914. He...

Festa dei Cornuti: Celebrating Infidelity

In Italy, someone who suffers an infidelity of his or her partner is called cornuto or “horned one”. But where does this strange term come from? Tradition suggests that its origin derives from ancient Rome, when many legionaries returning from the battlefields after several years were rewarded with a horn full of coins, only to finding upon reaching their home that their wives had found themselves lovers to keep their beds warm. Rocca Canterano is a tiny Italian town of just over 200 inhabitants, located in the province of Rome. It was not always such a small town: at the beginning of the century it had ten times more inhabitants, and around its beautiful church of Santa Maria Assunta meetings, festivals and rituals were held all summer long. However, the most curious event that takes place in Rocca Canterano is in early autumn, on the Sunday nearest to November 11 (in 2011 it will be the 13th). This is the Festa dei Cornuti (ie, the party of cuckolds), held in honour of St. Martin, bishop of Tours and patron saint of all those who have been cheated on by their partners. There are many different theories about why the festival is celebrated at that time … Some say it is a pagan holiday in origin: the Celts celebrated the end of the year traditionally in November with a twelve-day-long wild party during which there were frequent infidelities … Another less exciting explanation is that this is when cattle fairs are held, and we must keep in mind that the animals of the region generally have good sized horns … There is a...
