Kafka in Verscio After the success at the Mendrisio Museum, Maillet's exhibition arrives in the Locarno region
Verscio
From to
On the occasion of the centenary of Franz Kafka's death (1883-1924), Leo Maillet's illustrations (1902-1990) are being exhibited for the first time in the artist's studio in Verscio. The exhibition Leo Maillet: A Life of Engraving will be open from October 12 to November 3 at the Bauhaus villa built by the artist in the 1950s, designed by architect Dolf Schnebli. The opening will take place on Friday, October 11 at 6:00 PM.
The exhibition is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 AM to 7:30 PM and by appointment during the week.
The exhibition brings together etchings and illustrations, including etchings, woodcuts, and engravings, created by Maillet for a collection of Kafka's short stories. The works, previously exhibited at the Mendrisio Art Museum last spring, offer a significant testimony to the connection between the artist and the writer. The exhibition coincides with the publication of the book A Crossroads, published by Casagrande, which brings together thirteen micro-stories by Kafka illustrated by Maillet.
