FMR 19 celebrates the most bizarre and mysterious expressions of art, in which the deepest meanings lie concealed within fabulous tales and curious jests. Two pagan stories – that of Ariadne and Dionysus, and that of Diana and Actaeon – provide the inspiration for works whose full meaning is reserved for the initiated. A further strain of inspiration, albeit playfully revisited, animated the Accademia dei Facchini della Val di Blenio, the Renaissance cradle of an unconventional art. This same penchant for the bizarre underlies Bordalo Pinheiro’s ceramic art and Érik Desmazières’ etchings. The regular features explore a dreamlike work by Léon Spilliaert, a painted jest by Jan Steen, dreamy auctions and the dreams drawn by Milo Manara.
