This event has ended.

The exhibition explores the artistic objective to depict light, an endeavor that has important historical antecedents. In Cézanne’s opinion light could not be reproduced, “but must be represented by something else, color”. The Fauvists, aware that a painter’s pigments, when mixed are duller than light, developed the practice of using colors pure, as they come out of the tube. Ben Nicholson considered the color of light to be white and Malevich described white as the color of the infinite and the primordial.
