ROSSOPASSIONE PRIZE 2019 – TERMS

Twenty Artists for Manet

PREAMBLE

2019 was an important year for the Magmma Museum which, in partnership with the Cà la Ghironda Museum, created the project “Rembrandt incisore” and created the format “Do you Re me mbrandt” presented in Porto Cervo at the Promenade du Port. The kermis were the occasion not only to exhibit the most important collection of engravings by Rembrandt in Italy, but also the opportunity for twenty artists to be the virtual students of the master, in a sort of convivial cenacle, as if Rembrandt had materialized in those places.

On the basis of these exhibitions, the Estetica & Progresso Foundation includes, among the prizes, the opportunity for twenty artists to participate in the great event related to the exhibition on Manet, which will be celebrated in 2019. (see Article 6 bis)
