Death Dealer (Gustavo Desimone)

[altrbody]

"I became an artist because I had no choice. I was compelled to paint by something in me which I experienced as having extreme value and I proceeded to paint without ever having given it a thought. It was and it always will be for me out of necessity. Let me describe what I mean by necessity. It was a concern to directly remove and express images that pressed my consciousness. For the first three years as a painter (1974-1976) I never gave a single thought to the other aspect of art, that is its use to other people. I have now however come to the conclusion that art is for the most part used by others simply to purchase symbolic lots of time and or hand labor or to express the sophistacation [sic] and extent of ones wealth or to decorate ones environment in a manner which expresses any or all of the above functions. As an artist I simply do not fit. As a person I have too much self-respect to meet the requirements of such an oppressive system. I experience oppression in a twofold manner. Dealers reject anything which is not immediately intelligable [sic] as having a fashionable image or message. They look for clear signposts:

An art school background, which immediately indicates a willingness towards subsurviance [sic], a respect for collective opinions and a dose of art historical refrences [sic] from which to plunder.

A canvas which conforms to what they think is the complete art process, the best is an unfinished canvas which combines the sketchy look of working out the problem with the homogenity [sic] of a solution. Dealers and collectors alike like to think a work is preceded by a problem and concluded with a solution. Conviction alone disturbs them.

The artist must not portray the human figure in a way which the viewer will identify with it unless what is portrayed is simply illustrational or an activity or situation which reinforces the dealers social class and tastes. Better yet the artist should only resort to the human figure in the form of a sketch or symbol or if possible a concept."

‘Horrible’ Painting Found by a Junk Dealer Could Be a Picasso Worth $6 Million

An Italian family had long debated throwing away the unconventional portrait.

It’s not often you sit down to read a book about the greatest masterpieces of art history, then look up to find a stellar example hanging on your own wall. Yet this was apparently the experience of Andrea Lo Rosso, who began raising questions about a peculiar painting in his parents’ living room at their home on Capri in Italy. Could it possibly be by Picasso, the forefather of Modern art himself?

For years the man’s parents had argued over the unconventional portrait, which was discovered by his father Luigi Lo Rosso in the cellar of a villa in Capri 1962, given a cheap frame, and put on the wall. This did not please his wife, who despaired at the female sitter’s strangely contorted face. The scrawled name “Picasso” in the top left hand corner meant nothing to either of them.

“My father was from Capri and would collect junk to sell for next to nothing,�� Lo Rosso told the Guardian. “He found the painting before I was even born and didn’t have a clue who Picasso was. He wasn’t a very cultured person.”

“My mother didn’t want to keep it—she kept saying it was horrible,” he added.

The family sought out the counsel of the Arcadia Foundation, which carries out art attributions and appraisals. A member of its scientific committee, Dr. Cinzia Altieri, a trained graphologist or handwriting specialist, studied the signature on the painting. The foundation also enrolled the help of famed art detective Maurizio Seracini, who led a chemical-scientific analysis of the work.

As a team, these experts have confirmed the attribution to Picasso. The painting has been identified as a portrait of Dora Maar, the French Surrealist photographer, painter, and poet who was at that time Picasso’s mistress.

It is believed to have been made some time between 1930 and 1936 during a trip to Capri, where Picasso often visited, although he first met Maar in late 1935 or early 1936. The pair had a relationship lasting nearly nine years and, though she was an artist in her own right, Maar’s work has only recently received the attention it deserves. In 2019, a landmark retrospective of over 250 works by Maar was presented at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and Tate Modern in London.

If the attribution turns out to be true, the Lo Rossos can expect a financial windfall. The Arcadia Foundation has valued the alleged Picasso at €6 million ($6.7 million).

The artist painted many portraits of Maar in their time together, and several reside in major museum collections today. The auction record for a painting of Maar by Picasso was set in 2006, when Sotheby’s New York sold Dora Maar au chat (1941) for $95.2 million, according to the Artnet Price Database.

Unfortunately for this team of Italian art sleuths, their rediscovered modernist masterpiece piece is unlikely to fetch in the millions until it has been legitimized by official Picasso authenticators.

Andrea Lo Rosso said that, so far, the Picasso Foundation in Malagá, Spain has refused to even assess the work, which it believes to be a fake. The foundation declined to comment publicly on the work when contacted. It reportedly receives hundreds of authentication requests every day.

The Picasso Administration in Paris has also been reached for comment but did not respond by publication time.

I have so many Roulette heads. If only you knew.

For example, I would like to remind you that in endless mode, the player is a woman over 30 who has been through some shit. She was diagnosed with depression, which caused the desire to live to disappear. All feelings were reduced to zero and only longing and sadness remained. It makes life more unbearable and smoother.

So she decided to play roulette. Not for the sake of money, like the people from the main game with endings (again, my headcannons), but for the sake of emotions, which she had long forgotten about. Money is so that there is at least some kind of prize.

And even more, I think she would be unbearably smart and thought through her every move in advance, which would really infuriate the dealer.
