About the Item
M.A.S. accompanying his "Still Life". Rome, December 9, 1984. 1p. 21x29cm. Very good condition.
"This is the first, perhaps last Findus, entered into the history of art," writes Vespignani about his only "dead and frozen" still life.
In his humorous writing, he described how, in the 1960s, he wanted to paint an "alive, remembering the sea, wriggling like a freshly caught fish" nature, to distract himself from his "murderous dead". But the result was quite different, contrary to his intentions. Because of his being a "realistic painter, or rather obsessed nerista", portraying the alive nature meant seeing and reproducing the gradual decay of the small group: "from the stage of cheerful youth (...) to the cadaverous dissolution."
In the same year that he writes "Like Flies in Honey" dedicated to Pier Paolo Pasolini, and the Academy of France dedicates to him an exhibition with the same title, Vespignani is increasingly convinced that "art becomes a way to fathom the reality with all its shame and controversy".
