Catalogue Note

(l'iscrizione sul retro, come scritto sul Catalogo Ragionato, sta svanendo)
(the inscription on the reverse, as stated in the Catalogue Raisonné, is vanishing)

“Il vero antagonista del kitsch totalitario è l’uomo che pone delle domande.
Una domanda è come un coltello che squarcia la tela di un fondale dipinto
per permetterci di dare un’occhiata a ciò che si nasconde dietro.”

The true antagonist of totalitarian kitsch is the man who poses questions.
A question is like a knife that breaks the canvas of a painted backdrop to let us have a look at what lies behind

Milan Kundera, L’insostenibile leggerezza dell’essere
