The Prize

"Among the various works is a painting from the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool that was bought in London, after having been auctioned by Christie's. A classic example of Art Deco." Alviero Martini

Painting by Harry Morley.

Harry Morley (1881-1943) was a British painter, engraver and carver known for his classic and mythological compositions. Morley was considered an "artist's artist". His paintings display their dependence on the early Italian masters, not only due to the oil and tempera technique used but in the visual vocabulary adopted. The strong sense of monumental form and spatial clarity of the artist are a reflection of his initial training as an architect. Together with his use of clean lines, academic coldness and detachment, Morley's work clearly stands out from the narrative purpose and sentiment of the Pre-Raphaelites.

Dimensions: 77 x 89 cm

Alviero Martini was born in Cuneo on March 13, 1950, where he completed his artistic studies and soon began to travel while working as a window dresser. In 1987, his search for "something unique" led him a date with destiny . In Moscow he found a fascinating and faded old map. He glued it onto an old suitcase and thus he stumbled upon the idea to create an innovative line of baggage embellished with geographic maps. 1990 marks a successful year across the globe. Recognized as the creator of a new travel concept, he rapidly became well known as the 'traveling stylist'.

The Cause

CARE TO ACTION is an Italian non-governmental organization that operates in India to support children, women and vulnerable and marginalized communities. It was founded in 1991 and since then over 22,500 Indian children have had access to education.

Today it operates in the urban suburbs and in the rural and tribal areas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, two of the poorest states in India, carrying out projects to support children and young people excluded from school, in support of women's emancipation and working with marginalized communities, for economic or caste reasons, providing services and the renovation of meeting spaces, for sustainable economic and social development.
“The light of women” is the most heartfelt event of CARE TO ACTION, an opportunity to promote greater awareness of the problems that the female gender in India has to face every day, to raise funds to support the projects of the rights NGO of women and to celebrate the progress already made by girls and women supported by CARE TO ACTION.

Women, especially in India, are often underestimated and underrepresented, but their contribution is invaluable. They are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and leaders, and their impact on the lives of those around them is enormous. This is why CARE TO ACTION, thanks to its donors and through the projects it carries out, supports the female gender by supporting education, awareness of their rights and economic independence. For CARE TO ACTION, supporting female empowerment is a fundamental objective to build a more just and sustainable society.
