An opportunity to learn about the artist, not only through his works, but also through his work environment: Novaresio’s family donated to the Modern Art Gallery a series of paintings and the working tools preserved in the mill of Godiasco, Novaresio’s last atelier. The museum organized a series of educational activities, aimed to understand the artist’s painting technique.

Giovanni Novaresio I ritratti

Where: Fortunago, Pavia, Town Hall

Date: 1997

Ritratto di bambina

The artist died while working on the preparation of this exhibition, which became the first posthumous exhibition dedicated to him. Portraits had always been one of his main focuses. This exhibition showed the different ways the artist approached this genre, not only through different techniques (drawings or paintings), but also through heterogeneous expressive choices.
