Abstract

The subject originates from the study, still undergoing by the present author, of Margherita Sarfatti archive, acquired by the Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto (MART). Margherita Sarfatti was one of the most important Italian art critic of 1920's and she played a key role in the international art scene between the two world wars. As is known, the threads of her personal and professional lives were interwoven with socialist thought, and then with the newborn Fascist movement. The Sarfatti archive includes materials that are almost completely unpublished and which makes it possible to study in depth her work as a publicist, art critic and promoter of Italian culture in the period 1919–1939. From Sarfatti's idea of development of art dal moderno all'eterno (from modern to eternal) and beginning with her theoretical starting points, it is possible to note some points on the arts and mathematics relations in the return to order, seen through the works of some of the Italian masters who worked with this poetic, including Gino Severini, Carlo Carrà, Felice Casorati, Mario Sironi.
