From the permanent collection: Massimo Campigli, The Belvedere (Il Belvedere), 1930.

A tall building, window after window, and in each one the bust of a woman looking out. Campigli painted it two years after he discovered Etruscan art at the Villa Giulia in Rome, which he later described as a turning point in his career. Abandoning the monumentality of his earlier work, his imagery became lighter, his palette grew paler and he began to use dry, fresco-like paint applied in layers, suggesting the abraded surfaces of archaeological fragments.

Last night, as part of our Student Takeover at the Estorick Collection, student curator Sohyeon delivered a thought-provoking workshop exploring Futurism and sound art.

Sohyeon invited participants to take a closer look at Luigi Russolo’s painting and his seminal manifesto, The Art of Noises. By encouraging us to listen attentively to the soundscapes of the painting, the museum grounds, and the surrounding square, Sohyeon highlighted the powerful connection between visual art, environment, and sound.

Thank you, Sohyeon, for sharing your insight into Futurism and demonstrating the profound legacy it still holds in our contemporary world.

Wanda and Marion Wulz: Avant-garde Photography in 20th-Century Italy is now open.

The exhibition brings together the work of sisters Wanda and Marion Wulz, key figures in the development of avant-garde photography in twentieth-century Italy. In 1928 the sisters inherited the photography studio founded by their grandfather Giuseppe Wulz and later run by their father Carlo, transforming it into a vibrant centre of artistic and commercial production in Trieste. Their clients included artists, actors, dancers, athletes and the fashion designer Anita Pittoni.

The exhibition also traces Wanda's bold engagement with Futurist ideas, most notably in her iconic self portrait I + Cat, alongside a series of photographs documenting Trieste during the Second World War.

Curated by Federica Muzzarelli, in collaboration with the Fondazione Alinari per la Fotografia and with the support of Calliope Arts Foundation.

Wanda and Marion Wulz: Avant-garde Photography in 20th-Century Italy is on display now until 20 December.
