BRUNO MUNARI : Conservare lo spirito dell’infanzia [Keeping the Childhood Spirit]
About the Exhibition
Bruno Munari (1907–1998) is an Italian artist, designer, writer, and educator. Having started out as a member of the Second Futurist group, after World War II, continuing in search of a new state of art, he was active in design, picture books, educational toys, and writing, too. This exhibition is composed of the seven workshops devised in 1985 as the “keys to analyzing Munari.” Approximately 320 works including 150 or so that are being shown in Japan for the first time and spanning Munari’s entire career will be shown. There will be chances for you to touch a variety books and educational toys and to experience workshops devised by Munari himself, providing a full view of this peerless man of expression full of humor.
