Recollections of Susan Max, daughter of Stephen and Wendy Max:
“As a young girl living in #Germany, I had the rare treat of going to meet a “REAL” #artist.
I was so excited!
His name was Diego Voci and at first sight I recognized Diego’s #charisma. My nervousness subsided as he drew us into his world with his exceptional interest in each of us. He was very interested in the fact that both my middle brother and I read music and played instruments.
Diego upon learning of our #musical training removed a #napkin and drew a treble clef on it asking us to explain what the clef symbol was and a sheet of music he had. What struck me was that during this visit the house he lived in was a #cornucopia for the #imagination. He graciously took us through the living and working area and I seem to recall an easel with unfinished work set up in the studio.
I remember Diego as a man that displayed so much interest in the world around him. I also remember him saying that you could #paint with #color, #light and #canvas. He had the ability to instantly draw you into his world and to include you into it.
Much of my memories are that of an observer being let into a brilliant artists’ life. I remember how he also mentioned that I reminded him of a #painting he had done of a young girl and how my face shape was so similar. I remember being transfixed at the beautiful colors and the huge easels with work yet to be finished. On asking him when he painted, he responded when that he never knew when the urge would present itself and then as we were leaving Diego left and went in to the studio where he started to paint.
I am so lucky to be influenced by such a brilliant and still current REAL artist.”
Diego’s work truly expressed his poetical world and in so doing provides a never ending source of pleasure for us and his many admirers. –Stephen and Wendy Max December 1985
Proof is here. The magnetism of DIEGO VOCI art can be transferred to a “New Generation.”
Diego Voci died in 1985 of lung cancer. His great body of artwork has endured 30-50 years, largely unknown except to many of his original addicted collectors who bought many. They displayed them, enjoyed them and hoarded them for decades. Now these devoted collectors are dead, dying and or downsizing and Diego’s works are popping up everywhere at bargain prices.

Enter Brad Fairchild, Graphic Designer and Photographer, 45 years old. His parents, Cheryl and Dan met Diego personally. On a tight budget with two little kids, they bought 3 DIEGO Lithographs in the 1970’s while in Germany. They found their first original Diego Voci oil painting in the US on e-bay: https://diegovociproject.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/potential-diegovoci-model-kicking-herself/
Their son Brad has a sharp eye. Here is the Diego Voci masterwork, “Madonna” (31″x 16″) he discovered at an Estate Sale under $1,000. Genuine #gold leaf is inlayed, similar to the techniques used by Gustav #Klimt with the famous #WomaninGold.
