The Italian Cultural Institute of Los Angeles will host a short-run exhibition that features a rare showing of Leonardo’s drawing Angel in the Flesh (c. 1513-1515). Also included will be selections from Leonardo’s The Theatre Sheet (c. 1506-1508, from the Atlanticus Codex) and video artist Bill Viola’s installation The Last Angel (2002). Opening night, scholar Carlo Pedretti will discuss the installation and Leonardo’s works with Viola and will conclude with the screening of two short documentaries about the Renaissance artist. The exhibition will run December 2-12, 2009.
