The reappearance of the work of the American artist James Turrell (Pasadena, LA, 1943) in Paris has caused great expectation.

Florence hosts until 25 January the extraordinary exhibition "Fra Angelico", devoted to one of the great masters of the Early Renaissance. Spread between the Palazzo Strozzi and the Museum of San Marco, the show brings together more than 140 works and allows one to enter into the spiritual, aesthetic and theological dimension of a painter who knew how to harmonize monastic devotion with the modern language of the Renaissance. In a journey of great beauty and recollection, Fra Angelico reveals himself as a creator of light, serenity and transcendence, whose painting still moves us by its purity and depth.
"Man Ray: Forms of Light", the new exhibition at the Palazzo Reale in Milan, reveals the essential figure of the artist who redefined photography and the avant-garde of the 20th century. Through rayographs, solarizations and objects charged with Dada wit and surrealist spirit, the show illuminates Man Ray's experimental power and his still-current legacy, in dialogue with the parallel exhibition at the Met in New York. His life, marked by innovation, aesthetic rebelliousness and the influence of women such as Kiki de Montparnasse and Lee Miller, reveals a creator who turned light into language and imagination into form.

An exhibition that allows us to rediscover a cosmopolitan creator, deeply tied to his homeland.

To have true knowledge of things, that is, to be able to explain Nature and human life, we must turn to their origin, what the ancient Greeks called arche, and seek the causes and reasons of those processes.
