Touching color. The renewal of pastel

The pastel in front of the venerable oil painting. Why some artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries opted for the pastel and claimed it? This exhibition is not intended to be exhaustive but it does try to answer the question posed from an international perspective. Organized in 10 sections, it focuses on the key moments of the pastel revival and the most important painters. "Touching color. The renewal of pastel" consists of 98 works by 68 artists and has been possible thanks to the support of more than seventy providers, both institutions and private collectors.
