Franz Porta, 1970–1980. Mostra di pittura
Irony and unease in the painting of a Bergamasco protagonist
About Franz Porta, 1970–1980
A decade of Franz Porta's painting
The exhibition Franz Porta, 1970–1980 is dedicated to one of the protagonists of 20th-century Bergamasco art. Franz Porta (Bergamo 1937 – Nembro 2001) trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti Carrara in Bergamo, completing his studies under masters such as Funi and Longaretti. The exhibition focuses on the decade 1970–1980, a central phase of his production.
Irony and unease
The exhibition's subtitle, Irony and unease in the painting of a Bergamasco protagonist, summarises the two perspectives offered to visitors: a taste for irreverence and, at the same time, an inner tension that runs through the works of those years. The exhibition offers an opportunity to rediscover an artist deeply connected to the territory of Nembro, where he lived and died.
At the Tullio Carrara Library
The exhibition is hosted by the "Tullio Carrara" Library and Culture Centre, in Piazza Italia in Nembro, a municipality in the Val Seriana in the province of Bergamo. Admission is free, and the exhibition can be visited during the library's opening hours, confirming its role as one of the town's main cultural hubs.
