The Diego Voci Project shares Diego’s portrayal of this dream he had as a member of the circus (in this faded Polaroid image of Le Cirque) . How many figures can you count? Did you see the large banana shaped smiling face in the left hand corner? Which figure do you think is Diego?

Commentary John Krueger Writer for Stars & Stripes Part II:
“Another character that often reoccurs in DIEGO’s portraits is the #clown – earnest, ruddy peasant faces under the #white makeup and the #red rose, true #children of “LA COMMEDIA DELL’ARTE”.

The memory of the classic form, always present in the subconscious of this truly modern #artist, gives a higher meaning and a more complex form to the work of DIEGO. His groups of figures – here again he favors young voluptuous women – produce an almost three #dimensional effect, which is achieved by a competent use of the laws of perspective rather than by optical tricks, as, in the case of the #cubist #paintings.
Episodes and intellectual adventures, which may at times attract great curiosity and interest among public and critics, bear very little resemblance to the fundamental values of art. Too many collective and individual phenomena dismay and disappoint art lovers looking at modern art today. Still, there are some artists who, unaffected by trends and passing fashions, dedicate themselves to the search for truth and beauty. DIEGO is such a man.”
