Painted Stories

In the picturesque setting of the Adelaide Castleheart of the city of Susa, comes to life Painted Storiesan anthological exhibition dedicated to Wilhelm Meltzeid, master of narrative painting and the poetic realism. The exhibition winds its way through the castle's spacious rooms, creating a continuous dialogue between large canvases e graphic works more than sixty years of international career.

From Bohemian Paris to the frenzy of Tokyo, from the lights of New York to the evocative spaces of Moscow e VeniceMeltzeid was able to develop a unique painting style, made up of brushstrokes 'liquid' and luminousthat transform the everyday into a visual narrative. Objects, faces, landscapes, classic cars e reflections become fragments of memory suspended in time, narrated with emotional intensity and refined technique.
