Venice Art 2022
I went home like a drunken man, and do you know what I did during the moment of jealous delirium which was long enough for the shameful thing I was going to do? I said to myself that the woman was laughing at me ; I saw her alone with the count , saying over to him the same words that she had said to me in the night, and taking a five-hundred-franc note I sent it to her with this words :
"You went away so suddenly that I forgot to pay you. Here is the price of your night"
The Lady of camellias, Alexandre Dumas
"Tell me , sir, do you believe that I love your son?"
"Yes, said M. Duval."
"With a disinterested love?"
"Yes."
"Do you believe that I had made this love the hope, the dream the forgiveness of my life?"
"Implicitly. You are a noble child, and you are making an attempt for which God will reward you; but I greatly fear that you will have no influence upon my son."
"Oh, be at rest , sir; he will hate me."
The Lady of camellias, Alexandre Dumas
Massimo Lanfranconi parla di Sacrificio
"It was about this time of the year, on the evening of a day like this, that I first met Marguerite.
I have a friend who studies the occult sciences, and he would call what I experienced " the affinity of fluids" ; as for me , I only know that I was fated to fall in love with Marguerite, and that I foresaw it. "
The Lady of camellias, Alexandre Dumas
The context
"Mask-like" portraits that depicts the mutability of identity, both physical and psychological. Figures and background merging into one plane, till the delineated volume of the figure and the amalgam of colours disrupts the false flat quality.
Each individual true distinction comes from their personalities, feelings and acts rather than features. A visceral representation of what it means to be human.
“In Venice I do the Dame aux camélias, which will perhaps have the title Traviata. A subject of period. Another perhaps would not have done it. For customs, times and for a thousand other clumsy scruples, I do it with all the pleasure" . Giuseppe Verdi
The exhibition
Massimo Lanfranconi has put together an exclusive collection of his artworks that will be shown to the public for the first time at the art exhibition VeniceArt 2022 , under the curatorial representation of ARTEVENTS by Mario Mazzoleni.
