Contemporary Art: A Visit @ La Mostra - Napoli`s Museum Of Madness

 

(Drivebycuriosity) - Naples (Napoli) has some interesting museums. Last Thursday we visited the La Mostra - Museo dela Folia: The Museum  Of Madness (museodellafollia). I chose a selection of disturbing images - enjoy.



Above some paintings by Acostino Arrivabene.






 

Above two different versions of Mona Lisa and her admirers. Are women pigs as well? The paintings are called: "Gioconda modella inquietante/Disturbin Gioconda Model" by Lorenzo Alessandri.


 

Above "The extraction of the stone of Madness" by Giovanni Gasparro.


 

Above "Figura smarrita/Last figure" by Alessandro Papetti.


 

More disturbing images.



 

Above: "Sunt lacrime rerum (le pazze/crazy women)" by Natale Attansio.

 

An interesting family scene. Let the image speak for itself.


 

"The Adolescent" by Silvestro Lega. I don`t know why he appears in this exhibiton, but they are advertising with his portrait all over the city. surely the least disturbing.

To be continued.
