As part of the programme devised by president Vittorio Sgarbi, the exhibition explores the cult of Isadora Duncan in 20th-century vanguards and art, through works by great international artists.

Duncan was the most prominent figure to overcome the classic standards of Romantic ballet and an enlightening paragon for the historical vanguards. Over 170 works are on display: paintings, sculptures, documents, photos, showing how the pioneer of modern dancing crossed the boundaries of time and space. Central themes in the exhibition are the liberation of women’s bodies, Duncan’s influence on early 20th-century culture, and her bond with Italy.

Coming from prestigious Italian and international collections, the Mart exhibition includes works by prominent 20th-century artists who found a powerful inspiration in Isadora Duncan: Auguste Rodin, Franz von Stuck, Umberto Boccioni, Fortunato Depero, Felice Casorati, Giò Ponti, Antoine Bourdelle, Eugène Carrière, Ferdinand Hodler, Edward Gordon Craig, Leonardo Bistolfi, Edoardo Rubino, Adolfo De Carolis, Gaetano Previati, Giulio Aristide Sartorio, Plinio Nomellini, Romano Romanelli, Ercole Drei, Domenico Baccarini, Galileo Chini, Dario Viterbo, Hendrik Christian Andersen, Francesco Messina, Francesco Nonni, Antonio Maraini, Amleto Cataldi, Libero Andreotti, Giuseppe Cominetti, Thayaht, Gino Severini, Mario Sironi, Amedeo Bocchi, Antonietta Raphaël, Pericle Fazzini, Massimo Campigli, Adolfo Wildt.
