Summary: |
Powerful works of anti-Fascist imagery will be on display at the Estorick Collection. While several major exhibitions have been devoted to exploring the propaganda imagery of Fascist Italy, art produced by those hostile to Mussolini and his regime has received surprisingly little attention in recent years. The exhibition will draw on a wide range of material – painting, sculpture, graphic design and documentation – to provide a comprehensive and illuminating study of this under-explored area of modern Italian culture. |
Opening Times: |
Wednesday to Saturday 11.00 to 18.00 hours. |
