Apr. 29 – The Jean-Francois Cazeau Gallery of Paris will host, until July 31, an exhibition dedicated to one of the most important Italian artists of the 20th century, Afro Basaldella, known as Afro. The exhibition includes about 40 works on paper and on canvas executed between 1947 and 1975, reflecting the essential stages in the artist’s career. It reveals the “glorification of light and joyful life” characteristic of his work, according to the definition given by James J. Sweeney, former director of the New York Guggenheim Museum during the ‘50s, who was a strong supporter of the artist.
