Catalogue Note
L'ITALIA
Chi non coglie o non ama il barocco,
non può amare l'Italia.
Qui nessuna trascendenza. Tutto è teatro, solennità, rito.
Esuberanza, turbolenza, opulenza.
Volute, arabeschi, turbine. Ampollosità
patetiche.
L'arte ha preso modello sull'enfasi del gesto, la sonorità delle parole, lo straripare della vita.
Georges Mathieu
