FROM BACON TO THE BEATLES. NEW IMAGES IN EUROPE DURING THE YEARS OF ROCK WITH HOTEL ST GEORGE

Hotel St. George is pleased to inform you about the exhibition “From Bacon to the Beatles. New Images in Europe During the Years of Rock”, which is running until 12 February 2012. It presents the history of modern figurative art inspired by Giacometti, Bacon and many other great artists of that time. The show displays 70 paintings and sculptures from the 1960s on loan from private and public Italian and international collections with a fabulous 1960s soundtrack.

There is a special focus on Great Britain and artists who did cover artwork for the Beatles‘ albums including Peter Blake (Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band) and Richard Hamilton (White Album). Along with its expected commentary, the exhibition’s audio guide plays the music of the times starting with Elvis Presley’s early songs and ending with songs from the Beatles’ last album, “Let it Be”.

This exhibition offers the opportunity to relive a great, vibrant and recent historical period through sight and sound. It is also a good occasion to book a package at the Hotel St. George and do some Christmas shopping in Milan!
