Villa La Massa, a beautiful 16th century Medici property, offers his international clientele a special package on occasion of the above exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence to discover the Russian Avant-Garde influenced by Oriental culture.
Fire and Ice is the first international exhibition to examine the fundamental importance of the Oriental and Eurasian connection to Russian Modernism and follows the destinies of Russia's self-proclaimed 'Barbarians' in their search for new sources of artistic inspiration. Fire and Ice demonstrates how modern Russian culture experienced a deep attraction to - and an apprehension of - the exotic, the unknown and the 'other', qualities which artists and writers identified with the spirit of the taiga, the virgin territories of desert and prairie and the 'otherness' of Oriental culture.
