Vittorio Mazzucconi's paintings,
with the Artist's comments
(8/23)


THE CONFLICT A married man who falls in love with a young girl is a classic. The Artist speaks to us about the attractiveness of youth, his sense of guilt, the dangerous journey into another psyche…



Anguish
1978
80 x 100, oil on canvas
…and the despair, as if I had to wriggle in the dust.



The Labyrinth
1978
80 x 100, oil on canvas
…without been able to find an exit door.



The Minotaur
1978
80 x 100, oil on canvas
A man and a woman: in him the animal nature of his desires (the bull head) is emerging, while she is hiding herself behind a mask of seduction, which is deadly white. The relationship is therefore between the instinct and an illusion akin to death?
