Explore the superimposed canvases of Paolo Scheggi, in our temporary exhibition dedicated to his work. Paolo Scheggi: In Depth runs until 15 September.
Paolo Scheggi, Reflected Zones (Zone riflesse), 1963
Sculptor Medardo Rosso was born #onthisday in 1858.
In 1912 Boccioni described Rosso as “the only great modern sculptor”, observing how “the sensitive touch of [Rosso’s] thumb, imitating the lightness of Impressionist brushwork, gives a sense of vibrant immediacy to his works”.
Explore the exhibition with a free* gallery tour led by artist, writer and educator Glenn Sujo. Tomorrow from 15.00.

Happy birthday to Ottone Rosai!
Born in Florence in 1895, Rosai was educated at the city’s Academy of Fine Arts, but was expelled following a disagreement with a teacher. Later in his life he was awarded the Chair in Painting at the same institution.
Carlo Carrà died #onthisday in 1966.
In 1911, Carrà’s direct exposure to Cubism during a visit to Paris had a profound effect on the work of this artistic magpie, as illustrated by drawings such as Boxer (currently on display in Gallery 4) and Synthesis of a Café Concert.
Fausto Melotti's "Harlequin’s Wife" (1979) is full of minute details that the artist invites
us to discover as if it were possible to unravel a story, or give voice to the memories that emerge from within.
Represented in the Estorick Collection by only this small canvas Man Waiting, Ottone Rosai was one of the stars of our recent exhibition A New Figurative Art.
Man Waiting is the only painting by Rosai in a public collection in the UK.
