The ZEPHYR MONNA LISA - Work in progress

  

A new painting's on the way. It's my humble rendering of one of De Crico's lost unknown masterpieces. De Crico was probably the most distracted artist in history and lost all of his works. Maybe one day someone will find one behind Grandma's wardrobe or hidden in a cellar.

LEONARDO sull'INDICE

La mia immagine 'Leonardo e Monna Lisa' su L'Indice dei Libri del Mese, a corredo di un articolo molto interessante di Massimo Vallerani su Armando Petrucci e il suo lavoro per l'apertura delle universita' e la rivalutazione del linguaggio dei ceti popolari in opposizione a quello delle élite.
Un articolo che ben circonda l'immagine di un artista che sofferse molto per la sua origine 'illegittima' che gli precluse l'accesso all'istruzione formale.
Grazie al Direttore Andrea Pagliardi.

L'opera e' stata esposta in varie mostre tra la Fiera del Libro per Ragazzi di Bologna, La Canottieri Milano, il Museo Nazionale di Taiwan a Taichung e, ultimamente, al Museo Parisi Valle di Maccagno, in occasione delle celebrazioni per il 500mo anniversario della morte del Maestro che tutti ammiriamo.

Oggi e' anche il nuovo 'Venerdi' per il Futuro' e sono certo che Leonardo sarebbe in piazza con Greta Thunberg se vivesse ai giorni nostri.
Certamente sarebbe anche contro il Diesel per i veicoli privati (e anche per gli altri).

DE CRICO's LEONARDO and MONNA LISA - WIP

De Crico's Leonardo and Monna Lisa (work in progress)
Pen and acrylic ink and something else 30x40cm
These are 8 frames/postcards for a mail art event organised for the foundation of Leonardo da Vinci's Museum in Maccagno (Lake Maggiore).
Artists are invited to create images inspired to the Great Renaissance master and his famous model. Not everyone knows that the painting became famous only after its theft in 1911, when two Italians stole it from Louvre and brought it back to Italy in Val Veddasca, near Maccagno. Some say the original painting was never returned and the one we can see today is just one copy. Whatever the story, Jodie Foster is directing a movie about this intriguing story and next week Mr. Silvano Vinceti, one of the world most renown experts on Leonardo's art, will talk about this and much more at civico Museo Parisi Valle. THe event has been created by my friend @savi_arbo Arbola: https://www.exibart.com/evento-arte/silvano-vinceti-il-segreto-della-gioconda-presentazione-del-libro/?fbclid=IwAR06luHOrnUbS8_uz0-VZgQpXxZhGWjYuB15Z6WGy7izrvHwF_2aqEUMmm4
De Crico is a little known artist whose artwork has all been lost in unbelievable circumstances, an Italian John Banvard, whose story I like to tell through some works inspired by traces I have found of his own.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LEONARDO!

Leonardo, besides being an inventor, was also someone who helped give shape to other people's ideas. He was a problem solver, a pragmatic optimist who accepted challenges in many fields of research.

Even though most of his speculative work has been lost, what has been saved is so creatively inspiring that I would warmly suggest to include it in elementary school education. Leonardo through all his life, asked questions and tried to answer them. His personal experimental method was a precursor to Galileo's. 
This is an illustration I made for the book 'My name is Leonardo', published by Grimm Press. It depicts an hypothetical mechanical field kitchen, one of those that would come handy during Summertime festivals.

Happy Anniversary Leonardo!
