Montmartre and art go hand in hand. Montmartre was home to many of the great artists who set up their easels there, and who at one time or another lived on the Butte, where I had the opportunity to meet almost all of them, from Bonnard to Picasso, from Gen Paul to Hélion and the surprising Cappiello, the first to have had the idea of putting art and advertising on paper [...]. [...] What is modernity in art? First of all, there has to be a break. A break with academic teaching. Then there must be creation. In Montmartre, the Atelier Cormon was an important place where tradition was firmly rooted. On the other hand, the color of the neighborhood lent itself to a greater freedom of spirit, and certain artists felt this need early on, and marked by the atmosphere, they were able to imbue themselves with it in order to express their temperament with sincerity. The aim of this exhibition is to pay tribute to these creators who gave birth to modern art. [...] The memory of places is transmitted through the personalities who lived there. The purpose of this exhibition is not to list them, but to evoke some of the most important figures. Overcoming the problem of location, some artists left Montmartre from time to time to develop their own concerns as painters elsewhere. Still others turned to spirituality or meditation, the turn of the soul sometimes taking over. [...] The Montmartre of yesteryear, which was fertile ground for so many artists, today produces images that are too stereotyped and soulless, confusing the visitor's mind and leaving only the shadows of past glories. A much-needed rehabilitation was needed to show the public just how much the history of art in Montmartre has counted.

OSVALDO BORSANI (Varedo 1911- Milan 1985) for Tecno. Chaise-longue P40, design 1955. Structure in black metal, original red fabric upholstery. Brass details and handles. With Tecno logo. Measurements: 90 x 70 x 129 cm; 40 cm (seat height). The versatile and comfortable P40 armchair was designed by Osvaldo Borsani in 1955 for Tecno. It features a multitude of conveniences: the chair can be adjusted in more than 400 positions; the backrest can be reclined to different angles, the headrest moves up and down, the flexible rubber armrests can be folded, and the chair has a folding legrest with extendable metal footrest. Trained from a very young age in the family furniture company, Osvaldo Borsani participated in 1933 in the V Milan Triennale, with the "Minimal House" project, which was awarded the silver medal. After graduating from the Milan Polytechnic, he met and collaborated with important artists such as Lucio Fontana, Agenore Fabbri, Aligi Sassu, Roberto Crippa, Fausto Melotti, and Arnaldo Pomodoro. In 1953, together with his brother Fulgencio, he founded Tecno, a project to which he would dedicate his entire life. His first industrial design works were the P40 variable-tilt armchair (1953) and the D70 sofa with invertible seat. In 1968 he created the Graphis office system (together with Eugenio Gerli, which was distributed worldwide in a million copies), thanks to which Tecno became an internationally renowned manufacturer of office design products. At the end of the sixties, Osvaldo Borsani created the Tecno Project Center with Marco Fantoni and Valeria Borsani.
