1978-1979 Vittorio Mazzucconi's paintings, with the Artist's comments |
(8/23) |
THE CONFLICT | A married man who falls in love with a young girl is a classic. The Artist speaks to us about the attractiveness of youth, his sense of guilt, the dangerous journey into another psyche… |
Anguish 1978 80 x 100, oil on canvas |
…and the despair, as if I had to wriggle in the dust. |
The Labyrinth 1978 80 x 100, oil on canvas |
…without been able to find an exit door. |
The Minotaur 1978 80 x 100, oil on canvas |
A man and a woman: in him the animal nature
of his desires (the bull head) is emerging, while she is hiding herself
behind a mask of seduction, which is deadly white. The relationship is therefore
between the instinct and an illusion akin to death? See also: The Clothing 1986 |
