#SELFIES HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR #CENTURIES

“. . . many #painters, #sculptors and #printmakers tried some form of #self-portraiture. “Portait of a Man in Turban” by Jan van Eyck of 1433 may well be the earliest known #self-portrait…*”                                   

Here are a few slightly more #contemporary #selfies. Guess “Who’s Who?”

#PICASSO MEETS #ELGRECO?

In 1981, St. Albert residents, Stephen and Wendy Max presented the first Canadian showing of the work of Antonio Diego Voci.  The press paid attention:

“His (DiegoVoci™) paintings have overtones of Picasso cubist style, in harmony with an esthetic clarity suggestive of #ElGreco.” Section of article “St. Albert residents host art show”

The success of “#PICASSO MEETS #ELGRECO” stemmed into the launch of Goldcrest Galleries Ltd by Stephen Max as he became Canada’s exclusive agent for DiegoVoci™ until his death in 1985.

Do we dare then ask you to compare to #Diego Voci?  Yes, for the purpose of finding the viewers estimate of value for a Diego work of art.  Here is Diego’s fauve version of the not legendary Amazon Warriors.   These women, they are all women, really did exist.  Click this link for evidence of Amazon women http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-painting-of-the-week-5154118/Page9.html#244.  And, for “Wonder Woman’s” Amazon history, http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-painting-of-the-week-5154118/Page9.html#249.
