Rivoluzione! Italian Modernism from Segantini to Balla

Rivoluzione! Italian Modernism from Segantini to Balla - the first comprehensive overview of Divisionism at Kunsthaus Zürich. "...The Divisionists were Italy’s answer to the French Neo-Impressionists and Pointillists, who were in turn the Parisian successors to Impressionism. Adherents of Divisionism analysed colour and light, and applied colour theory and the principles of optics to the work of painting. Their dots and brushstrokes often rendered in complementary, contrasting primary colours, the Divisionists created dazzling compositions flooded with light."
