“Camp”, the Theatricalization of Fashion: The Exhibition at the Met

In her essay, Sontag introduces the concept of “Camp sensibility.” In the volume containing her camp essay, in fact, the essay on Camp is followed by one “On culture and the new sensibility,” an important essay that examines in depth the questions posed in “Camp”: namely, the distinction between: “’high’ and ‘low ’(or ‘mass’ or ‘popular’) culture, which is based partly on an evaluation of the difference between unique and mass-produced objects.[…] The works of popular culture (and even films were for a long time included in this category) were seen as having little value because they were manufactured objects…”

The Codex Purpureus: Calabria’s Unique Treasure

The Codex is famous for the reddish-purple (purpureus in Latin) color of its high-quality parchment pages and for its prefatory cycle of miniatures of subjects from the Life of Christ. The miniatures are arranged in two tiers on the page, sometimes with small Old Testament prophet portraits below holding scrolls of texts from the Psalms.

Poster House: The First US Museum Dedicated to Posters Opens in New York  

“Posters are incredible documents of the societies and times they spring from, and have so much to tell us, not only about the history of advertising and design, but the world we live in today,” said Poster House Director Julia Knight. “There’s so much ground to cover, and we’re thrilled to begin sparking new conversations about this truly populist medium, which is such a part of all our lives”.

Love in Lake Como: Humanity and the Natural World Living in Harmony

The exhibition is curated by Elisa Larese of Tablinum Cultural Management, an art studio born in 2013, which works with major local and international contemporary artists.

“Genius and Madness” in New York, Sicily in the Soul: Angela Fodale Palladino

“I remember that I loved digging and finding objects in Sicily. If painting is analytical and imposes an expansion of time, sculpture is instinct embodied in the work,” Fodale Palladino says. “For me, painting is the height of the expression of feelings and the state of the soul.”

How to Celebrate the Genius of Leonardo, 500 Years After His Death

It seems that in this year of celebrations for the 500th anniversary of his death, visiting Leonardo da Vinci exhibitions is like eating chocolate, popcorn, or peanuts: the more you see, the more you desire. At the end of my article “Celebrations for the 500th Anniversary of Leonardo Da Vinci” published on January 16th, I […]

Verrocchio, the Sculptor, the Painter and the Master of Leonardo

In spite of Vasari’s admiration and Verrocchio’s importance as a teacher, up-to-now there has never been an exhibition devoted to him. The event in the Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo Bargello aims to bring valuable insight into the early influence of Florence and of Verrocchio and his workshop on Leonardo’s oeuvre (seven on display here). The National Gallery in Washington D.C. will host a smaller, especially curated version, of the show from 29 September 2019 to 2 February 2020.

The life of these people, who Spiga has evocatively placed in the foreground of her photographs or with their hands entwined with rosary beads, has a sweet and sour flavor at the same time

Celebrations for 500th Anniversary of Leonardo’s Death

As I wrote in my August 27th La Voce article, “Leonardo Da Vinci Still Making Headlines” Leonardo was born in the Tuscan hill town of Vinci on April 15, 1452, the oldest illegitimate son of a promiscuous wealthy notary and a peasant. He died at 67 on May 2, 1519 near Amboise in France where […]

SoBe is Love: When Italian Love Charms Art Basel Miami

The sculpture symbolizes the project’s message of love and community unity in light of post-election political divide and an epidemic of national gun violence and highlights intercultural principles of hope and faith. It pays tribute to the late artist Robert Indiana, whose well-known sculptures are universally recognized as symbolic of those same messages
