In the centenary of the birth of artist Zoran Music, the Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere ed Arti wants to honour one of the most powerful and stricken witnesses of the twentieth century, who spent a large part of his life in Venice. The exhibition is scheduled from 2nd December to 7th March at Palazzo Franchetti.

Curated by Giovanna Dal Bon, the show features more than eighty significant works, some of which are exceptionally being exhibited for the first time. It offers a precious opportunity to explore the artist’s atmospheric world and the memories he reprocessed above all in Venice.

The exhibition is designed in the form of a “journey” that recalls Zoran Music’s wayfaring nature and his nomadic existence between eastern and western Europe. The show is structured into eight sections according to themes rather than chronological order, “areas of intensity” that mark the artist’s existential and creative development: Origins (1935-1949); The Wayfarer (mid 1990s); Venice, again (1980s and 1990s); Grey Figures (late 1990s); "I had to go back to Dachau" (1970s); Intense Space (1990s); Variations on Ida and Self Portrait (1980s and 1990s); Double Portrait (1983–2001)
