Faenza – Italy
This year we Italians celebrate the 150th anniversary of the our country’s Unification. One of the first Italian ceramic artists to celebrate this meaningful event is Mario Pezzi.
His exhibition features 11 majolica panels that ironically and cleverly describe the vices (and virtues) of our country.
Hard to remain cold to his art and the themes he’s chosen to deal with. The Acrobat promising less taxes and more money is certainly a hot subject for most Italians, but it’s also the timeless character of the comedy of life, wherever it takes place.
