This is not a real DIEGO VOCI PAINTING. LOOK CLOSELY.. this painting are portions of two original oil paintings by Diego Voci (see below) and two of the volunteers for the Diego Voci Project Team confirmed this as each own the original paintings.
Here are the ORIGINALS OIL PAINTINGS by Diego Voci so you can see for yourself!
Diego Voci; Le Concert de Harliquin 1972 #660
Diego Voci; Suonatrice di linto #251-199
Listed on E-Bay January 2014
Others said “#FAKE, it can’t be a Diego”.
But, Helga Voci, the widow of DiegoVoci™ came to Diego’s rescue,
“Yes! It definitely is a Diego!”
It turns out this is a famous #clown illustrated by many artists, similar to #Emmett Kelly, #Bozo, and #Ronald McDonald.
But, who is this sloppy looking clown Diego painted? Do you know?

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.
