Tour at Villa Manin | Exhibition “Confini – Da Gauguin a Hopper”
On Sunday, March 22, the MoCA Association is organizing a guided tour of Villa Manin to explore the exhibition “Borders – From Gauguin to Hopper.”
The exhibition “Borders from Gauguin to Hopper. Song with Variations” explores, through over 120 paintings and works on paper from major European and American museums and private collections, the concept of borders as physical, interior, symbolic, and spiritual spaces in 19th- and 20th-century painting.
The exhibition opens with an emotionally impactful introductory room featuring seven key works. The opening display is Anselm Kiefer’s large canvas Märkische Heide (1970s), a symbol of a cosmic boundary between heaven and earth. Opposite, an extreme and intimate canvas by Mark Rothko represents the inner boundary. At the center, Vincent van Gogh’s Self-Portrait seals the reflection on identity and the self. This is followed by famous landscapes by Courbet, Monet, and Nolde, where the natural boundary takes shape between sea, sky, and gardens. Finally, a work by Edward Hopper introduces the theme of solitary figures confronting space and the beyond.
