Il percorso della Gallery of Modern Art in Milan GAM begins with the first six rooms, aimed at illustrating themes and characters of Neoclassicism, among which the masterpieces of Appiani and Canova stand out. Two entire rooms are dedicated to the portrait genre, with particular attention to the works of Hayez. The lavish ballroom and the bright Parnassus room, both free of artworks, serve as two breaks in the exhibition path.
The Romantic season is revisited through the main artists (Faruffini, Mosè Bianchi, Induno, Piccio) and in the monographic room dedicated to the Scapigliatura. The rich Divisionist season, finally, is recalled in a series of thematic rooms: Segantini, Grubicy, Longoni, up to the social subject paintings of Morbelli, Sottocornola, and Nomellini. After the section with the masterpieces of Medardo Rosso, the path on the first floor ends with the Symbolist paintings of Previati and Segantini.
The visit continues on the second floor with the Grassi Collection, a collection of masterpieces of Italian and foreign painting from the 14th to the 20th century, to which a core of Oriental art works is added.
Among the exhibited works, unique pieces by Manet, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin. In continuity with the previous one, the Vismara Collection is finally visited, which gathers works of painting and sculpture of the Italian 20th century (Carrà, De Pisis, Modigliani, Morandi, Sironi) and foreign (Picasso, Matisse, Renoir, Vuillard, Rouault, Dufy).
