In 1948, the New York City Ballet presented The Triumph of Bacchus and Ariadne<\/em>, a Renaissance poem by Lorenzo de\u2019 Medici whose refrain \u201cdel doman non v\u2019\u00e8 certezza\u201d (the future holds no certainty) may have had a particular resonance in the immediate aftermath of World War II.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholderBehind the project was the painter, set designer and cultural organizer, Corrado Cagli who captured the irony of this carnivalesque reflection on time and man and called upon Georges Balanchine and Vittorio Rieti to bring it to the stage. The three shared experiences of migration that challenged traditional narratives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In this Centro Primo Levi\u2019s program conceived for Carnegie Hall\u2019s Migration Festival, Cooper Union\u2019s art historian Raffaele Bedarida (author of Corrado Cagli: La pittura, l\u2019esilio, l\u2019America<\/em> (Rome: Donzelli, 2018; English edition, New York: CPL Editions, forthcoming) will discuss Cagli\u2019e exile as a significant anomaly in the history of European artists\u2019 forced migration.<\/p>\n

Jewish and gay, Cagli had enjoyed a successful career in Fascist Italy during the 1930s. After the 1938 racial laws, he was censored and forced to leave the country. He served in the US army during World War II, participating in the landing in Normandy and the liberation of Buchenwald. With a special status as military artist, he depicted the horror of war in a breathtaking series of drawings that were immediately acquired by MoMA and the Whitney Museum.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholderIn the immediate postwar period, Cagli emerged as an important cultural bridge, helping resume art exchanges between Italy and the United States. Together with other Jewish artists who had fled Italy \u2013 Vittorio Rieti, Saul Steinberg, Bruno Zevi \u2013 he helped the New York art world rediscover contemporary Italian art and design, and made it possible for emerging American artists to work in Italy.<\/p>\n

The program will feature a multimedia display of Cagli\u2019s 1946-47 paintings and drawings for the scenography and costumes of TheTriumph of Bacchus and Ariadne<\/em> (New York Public Library for the Performing Arts) and a live execution of passages from Rieti\u2019s score, which were never performed in public since 1948.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
