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?

On October 7, 2014 an ad appeared on Craigslist in Zürich in search of “Diego” artwork. Great idea! If they do find some, it will be quite a treasure! One is not likely to find a “Diego“, a signature not used … Continue reading
In 1948 Diego moved to Paris to further his education at Ecole des Beaux-Arts. In Paris Diego learned “the real academy is the café, study people, meet so many artists.” See more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Diego_Voci

Henri #Matisse and #DiegoVoci were fascinated with the female body, as many master artists were. The #Odalisque in Red Pants Matisse nude, on left valued at $3 million had been stolen, FBI recovered. #Donna Seduta #nude on right was done by #Diego in 1971, oil on wood accented by strokes of Diego’s palette knife scarring the paint. Diego felt all female bodies are beautiful. (See #Euronews video: http://www.euronews.com/2014/07/09/venezuela-recovers-stolen-matisse-painting/ )
Coop #Cooprider, Diego Historian, wrote in “The Beauty of Diego”*:
“Every person has their own perception of beauty. In 1974 Diego described with
heavy Italian accent, the beauty he sees in the female:
“A man look at woman, this is cerebral feeling. When I like fat woman, I build Venus that way. I like skinny woman, I build Venus that way.”
Diego was smitten by the beauty of all females.”

BELIEVE IT OR NOT . . . SOME CRITICS CHOSE THE #FAKE“MATISSE”
ABOVE is NOT the real $3 million dollar Matisse! THIS IS:
Odalisque a la culotte rouge, Henri Matisse 1925
The next question to consider is how does one price beauty when not a Matisse? One zero less than $3 million dollars? Two zero’s less? Three zeros? Good art is priceless.
