By displaying many drawings by masters of the Renaissance to the present day, as well as paintings, photographs and sculptures, including works by Rodin and Maurizio Cattelan, this exhibition explores the use of drapes which have been used to conceal and reveal forms throughout history.
Drapes have always been regarded with fascination, as they both conceal and reveal forms, with sensuality and gentleness, elegantly preserving the modesty of nudes. However, this fascination also requires the mastery needed to give the impression of fluidity and volume.
The exhibition looks at these questions, as well as the techniques of the artists, the play of shadows and light and the impression of volume and movement.
