11 Years ago, today, the DIEGO VOCI PROJECT All-Volunteer Team made their 1st Birthday post for Antonio DIEGO Voci (1920-1985). We changed it from 90 to 101!!!!
It all began thanks to Mary Trimmins who called out to any DIEGO aficionados! 11 Years later we’ve archived over 1000 DIEGO artworks! Do you have one for us to catalog?

These colorful #muses are a testament to Diego’s comment about women:
“A man look at woman… this is cerebral feeling. Venus is love god … who made her? In reality Venus never existed. I like for example fat woman … that’s the way I build Venus. Or I like the skinny woman … that’s the way I build Venus.” DIEGO #VOCI, 1974
Using glass paint on canvas, Diego did a series of experimental glass paintings. See more of Coop’s #DIEGO_VOCI collection: Art Collection from Cooprider Family Collection | Artwork Archive
Coop Cooprider, Diego Voci Historian since 1974 introduces another exquisite Diego Voci #art work collected by Bill and Joedy #Lyng #Riederer, purchased while in Germany. Much like Patti and Coop, they got ‘addicted’ to the “Potato Chip Phenomena”. Couldn’t stop at one! Read more: https://mailchi.mp/cb899df9ea0d/rbk7uwn0g1?e=489e274f0f
Today, in 1985 Diego Voci died. Internationally collected #artist Antonio Diego Voci, born August 10, 1920 in the little village of #Gasperina, #Italy, succumbed to lung cancer.

You’ll be mesmerized by his talents!
Coop Cooprider has 4 Aldo Paolucci paintings, also from Naffouj, 2 nudes and 2 abstract.
It is amazing the influence Jawdat Naffouj had on so many collectors of art. He still has the little gallery in the Altstadt of Landstuhl, Germany. Its 50 years since we bought our first painting from him and Joy.
This still is from a video we shot in 2012. He was showing me his contract with DiegoVoci™.
Diego Voci was the artist I became most attracted to. Regretfully, I know little of the values except for Diego for whom I have done extensive history:

CREATION WAS DIEGO’S LIFE
When not painting, an abundance of creation filled Diego’s life. Whether it be cooking, designing and tailoring clothes or charming people, it all supplemented Diego’s painting and drawing, capturing the miracles in human faces and other great works of art
Diego attended tailoring school in Reggio, learning skills he would apply designing clothes for himself and ladies of his liking. But art was his true love. “I must to paint”. Diego did not heed his father’s advice “The God of art does not give bread”.
Diego would draw incessantly. We believe there are as many as 4,000 works of art by Diego.
Many of these works are yet to be found and catalogued. Yet in the elite art world, Diego Voci remained relatively unknown.
That is changing as his exceptional talent is being discovered by a New Generation.The Diego Voci Project is searching for and cataloguing Diego’s art in the world’s only Diego Voci Archive. Please help us find them all.

Another case of an artist saying a lot in one drawing.
Courtesy DIEGOVOCIPROJECT.COM 30 Years ago DIEGOVOCI™ died. His art lives on.
…DIEGO!!!
These are the first two of 4 pages of the first published #DIEGO article resulting from my 1974 short lived efforts to help #DIEGO become better known.
The last two pages follow in the next post. The article was written by Victoria Williams. A photo of her interviewing #DIEGO will follow.
Notice the pathos #DIEGO captured in the #clown. The original oil was stolen from the attic of the house The Coopriders rented in #Germany. The Coopriders suspected it was taken by the landlord’s son. There is a $30,000 reward for it’s return.

In January 1965, DIEGO had an exhibition at the Schlossgalerie in #Zurich, #Switzerland.
Notice the reference to the name in the “Neue Züricher Zeitung” newspaper ad “Antonio Voci” not “DIEGO”.
Helga Drössler had been with DIEGO for five years. Thereafter he mostly signed“DIEGO”. Helga and DIEGO married in #Denmark in 1968.
Notice the style. #Realism. Both different from the works DIEGO Collectors are familiar with. It illustrates his #versatility and #craftsmanship (#Picasso painted realism when he first began. So did #Dali).
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 21, 2010: ORIGINAL IS OUT THERE SOMEWHERE… SEE NEW COLOR IMAGE AT: http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-antonio- diego-voci-3984818/Page6.html#163
Two paintings sold by Schlossgalerie can be seen in the Wikipedia biographyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Diego_Voci
