The Routes of Dream.

Paul Gauguin, Egon Schiele, Marcello Mariani

The art journey is the metaphor of the incessant propensity of man to the discovery of elsewhere.

A new field of confrontation and understanding of reality is discovered among the artists of the early twentieth century.

A charm, not only romantic, emanates from distant territories, be they unexplored seas, or bodies observed and redesigned, as never before, through a virginal, emotional, expressionist tension. The prefigurations of the dream, as the only cognitive tools, become imagined lands, evanescent landscapes, horizons deformed by the gaze, on which to relax one's vague, dreamlike, unlimited, human landings.

From this point of view of existential experiences, some works by Gauguin, Schiele and Mariani represent a sensitive, unlimited trail of imaginative perceptions of reality, in solitary creative continuity; aimed at lapping three generations of artists, not far from each other and close to marking new figurative margins, between the hidden folds of dreamy escapes, which go beyond the good sense of anti-creative reason.
