Gino Severini in Switzerland: mural paintings and catholic art revival of the groupe de Saint-Luc[edit]
Summary of the case study and link[edit]
The research project “Gino Severini in Switzerland” studies the religious wall paintings by Gino Severini during his collaboration with the Groupe de Saint-Luc to understand Severini’s expressive intentions and the materials and painting procedures used. Through the integration of art historical and archival information with direct visual and scientific examination of Severini’s wall paintings, the project investigates the connections between the artist’s technical choices, the primary sources and the availability of new painting materials and methods.
On the occasion of a conference that required registration and the purchase of an entrance ticket, minimal and mainly for COVID reasons, a flyer of the event was produced that featured a photograph of the artist's work taken by the research team in one of the researched churches (who have all the permissions to carry out the research work). The flyer came to the attention of 'ProLitteris', i.e. the Swiss Cooperative for Literary and Art Copyrights who requested payment for the use of this image.
