Description: Italy, Itala Gens, 2017. Hardcover. Color illustrated boards with white text. (9) 10-46 pp. Features many full color illustrations. "Specific reasons have led us to choose '..e tu no'l vedi' as the first title of the 'Multa Renascentur' series directed by Liciano Regoli, with which we intend to illustrate the resent, and not only the past, of the great Italian figure paintings, which many have tried to extinguish but will not die. Although, or perhaps precisely because, matured through an isolated reflection outside of any clique, the author reveals an originality and a critical depth that are now obsolete. To the solid scientific preparation that comes from her studies in Art History in Florence, she combines a profound theological preparation in Christian symbolism, a literary taste, a sure intuition, and last but not least, a direct experience of painting 'in the field.' This leads her to clearly perceive a stylistic evidence where for some predecessors it was nothing other than Dante's 'darkness before evening.'" - translated from the introduction. VG, corners of boards have some dents, all else in excellent condition .
