The Horse: works on paper at the Floriano Bodini Civic Museum

Alongside Bodini’s works, the exhibition pairs pieces by notable 20th-century artists to create a dialogue of influences and friendships within the contemporary art scene.

Highlights

• Original drawings and anatomical studies of horses by Floriano Bodini.
• Etchings and lithographs documenting Bodini’s working methods on paper.
