Exhibition of the Fascist Revolution

Exhibition of the Fascist Revolution

Poster promoting the Mostra della Rivoluzione Fascista (Exhibition of the Fascist Revolution), which was an art exhibition intended to commemorate the revolutionaries who had taken part in the rise to power of Fascism. Unlike Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, who openly attacked modern architecture and art on both stylistic and racial grounds, Italian Fascism had been closely linked since its early inception to avant-garde artistic movements such as Futurism. Many of Italy’s most renowned artists and architects were ardent fascists who tried in every possible way to embody fascist values in their work. Italian Fascism, as reflected in its ideological doctrine, was much more open towards new ideas and lacked the artistically counterproductive fixation on stylistic purity and traditionalist realism that defined the Nazi aesthetic and which often times sapped an artwork of its creative vitality.
