COME BANKSY HA SALVATO LA STORIA DELL'ARTE

From cave paintings to Damien Hirst's spot paintings, passing through Rubens' self-portraits and Monet's water lilies, here is the history of art according to Banksy! Through irreverent urban installations, pictorial parodies, and desecrated masterpieces, the street art superstar offers us an unexpected look at the great classics, engaging with the most burning current themes and at the same time demonstrating a deep knowledge of artistic tradition. The over 40 works revisited by Banksy and finely analyzed by critic Kelly Grovier lead us to rethink our relationship with the foundational masterpieces of culture and aesthetics to give a new meaning to art history.
