Compliments of The Diego Voci Project team; finding hidden gems like the one above adds to our history. Antonio Diego Voci (VOH-chee 1920-1985) captures history with his Madonna and Child paintings.

THE MEANING OF TENDERNESS!

Diego Voci; “Tendresse” #8802-085 oil on canvas

The translation of “Tendresse” in French means “Tenderness” in English. Diego captures the feeling of tenderness in this surrealistic oil on canvas between a man and a woman.

What is the object or part of the background that is black and white? Is it a pattern or a ghostly mask?

GLASS PAINT = THE ART OF COOKING AT HIGH HEAT!

Le Vinage #10802-109 Maj. Pizzo Spangdahlem 1980

Diego Voci; “Le Visage” 40x30cm #10802-109 Glass Paint

Glass paint is a very difficult medium that for several months challenged Diego. In 1973, when Diego was staying with collector Dr. Ogden Brown in Colorado, Diego was at his creative best. He cooked and painted with glass paint in front of Brown’s daughters Lynda and Marsha. Yes, Diego had to cook the glass paint. Here is one example called “Le Visage = The Face”, rich in color & full of expression, just like Diego himself, always challenging himself and pushing to paint outside the box.

A brief history of the Dr. Brown family:

“Alexander Calder was a virtuoso of do-it-yourself decor and gadgetry. The extent of his ingenuity is currently being revealed in an exhibition at Hauser & Wirth‘s rural Somerset outpost, where a show tells the story of how the American sculptor and his wife transformed a rundown farm in Roxbury, Connecticut, into a whirring hub of creativity.”
