Radical Light: Italy's Divisionist Painters

I had never heard of the Divisionist painters until this exhibition and I had certainly never seen any of the paintings before. None will ever become my favourite works of art, although the Longoni paintings of glaciers are rather lovely, as are the Grubicy landscapes and a Boccioni Lombard landscape. The style is related to both the Impressionists and pointillism, but with thin streaks of paint instead of dots and dashes. On some works the paint is applied incredibly thick, and on others, the brushwork isn't too discernible. By the time Cara paints The Funeral of the Anarchist Galli, you can see that Futurism is the next step. Oh, and it doesn't matter what is the country of origin, Symbolist painting is still hideous.
