Osvaldo Licini: Rebellious Angel

The first exhibition dedicated to the work of Osvaldo Licini (1894-1958) in the UK. A key figure of 20th-century Italian art, Licini participated in the Futurist movement before establishing himself as a figurative painter of portraits, landscapes and still lifes.

During the1930s he adopted a geometric abstract style then, during the Second World War, changed his style once again, going on to produce highly imaginative works animated by fantastical characters. This show explores the key phases of Licini’s career, and features many of the artist’s greatest masterpieces.
