THE NEW GENERATION – CAN WE ADAPT?
Time for ALL generations to begin collecting artwork by international artist Diego Voci. There are at least several thousand art works by Diego Voci that we have yet to identify. Visit www.diegovociproject.com to learn more.
#TRUMP AS MISS CONGENIALITY
This cartoonist was convinced that Donald J Trump had no chance to be more than runner-up in the contest to become President, which prompted this cartoon.
New Yorker published it on its cover. Alas, too clever too soon. After Friday it will be Mr. President.
Diego Voci loved cartooning. See his dentist father-in-law. http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-history-4330818/Page2.html#44219
CAN’T ESCAPE SOCIAL MEDIA?
#DIEGO VOCI died 30 years ago, and never realized his next life would be on Pinterest. People we never knew before are setting up “Diego Voci” boards within their Pinterest boards. Amazing!
Have you seen Diego Voci on YouTube or Wikipedia?

CRAZY WEATHER INSPIRES ART
We’re out in San Diego where last week we nearly reached 100 degrees while on the east coast, it was freezing. This New Yorker artist illustrates a unique solution for keeping a partner warm.

THE AMERICAN #HERO WONDER WOMAN IS DESCENDANT OF AMAZON #WARRIOR WOMEN
#Wonder_Woman
“The Last Amazon; Wonder Woman returns” http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/09/22/last-amazon
Hippolyte, Queen of the Amazons (ca. 1200) was mother to Princess Diana portrayed today as (Wonder_Woman)…
Wonder Woman was created by the American psychologist PhD. (Harvard) and writer William Moulton Marston.[1] The character first appeared in All Star Comics #8 in December 1941 and first cover-dated on Sensation Comics #1, January 1942. *See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Woman
AMAZON WARRIOR WOMEN INSPIRED AN INDUSTRY OF CREATIVITY
According to a September 22, 2014 New Yorker article;
December 2013 Warner Bros. announced that Wonder Woman would have a role in an upcoming “Superman vs. Batman” film, and that, in a three-movie deal, Gal Gadot, an Israeli model, had signed on to play the part of Wonder Woman.
“Wonder Woman is Amazonian,” Gadot said, smiling coyly. “And historically accurate Amazonian women actually had only one breast.” (They cut off the other one, the better to wield a bow.)
What artists were inspired by the very real Amazon Warrior Women?
- Creator of Wonder Woman; William Moulton Marston
- Diego Voci, creator of “Le Amazzoni” http://www.artifactcollectors.com/diego-voci-painting-of-the-week-5154118/Page9.html#245
NOTE: A tip to the hat for Feminism: Marston described himself “The most ignorant young man, who knows nothing of the needs of women, thinks himself a competent legislator, because he is a man”. In 1915, Marston married Elizabeth Holloway, who’d just graduated from Mount Holyoke, where she studied Greek, read Sappho, and became a FEMINIST.
#CRAFTBEER #TATOOS AND NO SMOKING
…are a runaway trend in today’s “#New_Generation”…
Does the artwork of a long-dead artist fit into the lives of the “New Generation”? Tastes change with time. For example, the constant smoking of internationally collected artist Antonio “Diego” Voci (VOH-chee, 1920-1985) would not be welcome in today’s trendy gathering places where no smoking is allowed. 40 cigarettes a day shortened Diego’s life when his lungs gave up. 45 years ago, at the La Gondola in Ramstein, Germany smoking was accepted. That’s where I dined with Diego on several occasions.
A good red wine, a tablecloth with an ash tray would be Diego’s setting as he perused Italian fare on Gigi’s menu. Diego was most comfortable with extraordinary people in an ordinary setting, playing cards on the Mediterranean with fishermen in some poor village. Diego’s specialty was portrayal of people.
As Victoria Williams wrote in 1974: “In the South, DIEGO says, people live their lives more openly. They are more observable. They gather in groups to talk on the street, they play games in their yards; they sit in the parks, – lovers, strangers, the poor, the rich, mothers, fathers, children, happy people, sad people, – people who have experienced – who are experiencing. PEOPLE … living, feeling, being… these are the subjects of DIEGO. He interprets freely on canvas what he has experienced.”
“An Italian under the rule of the Sun DIEGO paints richly. He is drawn to living colors – warm, bright, dramatic. His paintings radiate. Like DIEGO, they dominate the space around them. They demand attention.”
One thing has not changed. Art remains very much in the lives of our current generation. Tattoos today are a fine art, very personal and proudly displayed on the aficionado’s skin rather than a canvas on a wall. (Notice on The New Yorker cover the small of the lady’s back above the belt line).
The “New Generation” is not blind to quality and value. There are about 4,000 oil paintings signed “Diego” on 2 continents and some of them are appearing at absolute bargains. So be on the lookout.
GOOGLE, “Diego Voci” for more!
Happy Holidays!
