Marianna Mordocco ,
The immortal and indiscreet
Portrait glamor.
As in the particular case of the teacher and perfectionist Claudio Bagagli , here we meet another teacher witness and representative of our time. A painter who also offers us his personal exposure of the " reality of the present." Using in its interpretation , and in particular in some of his works , objects and subjects , taken in worship , and belonging exclusively to today . This exclusive feature is evident in its beautiful representations of the assumption and now popular combination of " Women and engines ." A vision so devoid of any anachronism , pure and simple , as is the here and now , the present. Another of his artistic prerogative , it is the oil portrait . Depictions excelled , to which she , with her particular stretch , he manages to faithfully apply its law. " Intransigent The legality of the contemporary. " A field of this portrait painting , which in the succession of different ages and in all cultures , has been significant changes , regarding its palatability and apprezzabilità , both by clients that by the artists themselves. Inevitably affected by the influences ideological , cultural, political, and if we recently also technological . A striking example of this last statement, is represented by the role played by the invention of photography and its immediate use in the last two centuries. This technique quickly , supplanted especially portraiture painting , replacing it with the immediate , and above all cheaper camera . Art valuable too, now that space is also in museums, with the memorable shots of his teachers . Art immediate and fleeting , as it is momentary observation and feeling . Perceptions very different from the observation of a painting , able to communicate not only the pure image, but also the meticulous patience of the artist, his feelings , his personal vision of the world, and not that in the case of a portrait , the relevance of the context, and what matters most to our hedonistic image . We could say that is the difference that makes the difference , and stating that in the last two hundred years, the portrait painting , especially the purely figurative has greatly affected . But now we are in a new millennium, and in this second decade of the art of portraiture as a new renaissance and post- dark ages , is slowly recovering foot , and who knows not born a new and well-established current . Marianna with his intuition , his sensitivity and especially its fine art, certainly part of these new followers and masters of portraiture . And who knows , that avendogli commissioned a portrait, one day we realized , that is enviable as that of " Dorian Gray" .
