MAX PELLEGRINI (b. 1945)

 
In an abstracted image of St. Peter’s basilica in Rome, Pellegrini returns to religious narratives to express his “anti-ideological and anti-pauperist” impression of the church and its relationship with faith (Antonio Monda, “Interview with Max Pellegrini). In the lower half of the painting, the birth of Jesus is the central focus, while the life of the church is highlighted in the upper half. According to Pellegrini, he depicted the birth of Jesus in the style of a baroque 18th century Neapolitan nativity scene that can be interpreted “as a feast for the birth of faith.” This faith is conceived of as “the material support for the Popes’ power and of the Church’s glory,” represented in this painting by the Pope clutching the moon in his hand. <br> <br><br>- Partial text adapted from Max Pellegrini, July 2015, in conversation with Curator Chip Tom In an abstracted image of St. Peter’s basilica in Rome, Pellegrini returns to religious narratives to express his “anti-ideological and anti-pauperist” impression of the church and its relationship with faith (Antonio Monda, “Interview with Max Pellegrini).

In einem abstrahierten Bild der Peterskirche in Rom kehrt Pellegrini zu religiösen Erzählungen zurück, um seinen "antiideologischen und antipauperistischen" Eindruck von der Kirche und ihrer Beziehung zum Glauben auszudrücken (Antonio Monda, "Interview mit Max Pellegrini). In der unteren Hälfte des Gemäldes steht die Geburt Jesu im Mittelpunkt, während in der oberen Hälfte das Leben der Kirche im Vordergrund steht. Laut Pellegrini stellte er die Geburt Jesu im Stil einer barocken neapolitanischen Krippe aus dem 18. Jahrhundert dar, die als "Fest für die Geburt des Glaubens" interpretiert werden kann. Dieser Glaube wird als "die materielle Unterstützung der Macht der Päpste und der Herrlichkeit der Kirche" verstanden, die in diesem Bild durch den Papst dargestellt wird, der den Mond in der Hand hält.
