MAX PELLEGRINI (n. 1945)

 
Pablo Picasso paints a portrait of his sitter Giorgio De Chirico in a room filled with classical antiquities, neoclassical sculptures and impressionist paintings. The artist dreams of his own glory, which is symbolized by the masterpieces in the room – the statue of Victory by Michelangelo, an Impressionist artwork leaning in a corner, and the painting behind the sitter that symbolizes human knowledge. Yet, this is all meant ironically. De Chirico only sits in for Pellegrini himself, who mocks his own fears and phobias, by sitting in a room in which every person and artwork in the painting have already achieved their glory. <br><br>“Yes, irony is one of the elements of my painting. I make fun of myself and my neurotic fears and phobias and I turn the situation with ironic if not at times hilarious details. I placed a cat, for example, with phosphorescent eyes in a bucolic scene, or in the subject of Carnival I mix death, ridicule and joking.” (Antonio Monda, “Interview with Max Pellegrini,” in Max Pellegrini, ed.

Pablo Picasso pinta un retrato de su niñera Giorgio De Chirico en una sala llena de antigüedades clásicas, esculturas neoclásicas y pinturas impresionistas. El artista sueña con su propia gloria, simbolizada por las obras maestras de la sala: la estatua de la Victoria de Miguel Ángel, una obra de arte impresionista apoyada en un rincón, y la pintura detrás de la niñera que simboliza el conocimiento humano. Sin embargo, todo esto es irónico. De Chirico sólo sustituye al propio Pellegrini, que se burla de sus propios miedos y fobias, al sentarse en una habitación en la que cada persona y cada obra de arte de la pintura ya ha alcanzado su gloria.

"Sí, la ironía es uno de los elementos de mi pintura. Me burlo de mí mismo y de mis miedos y fobias neuróticas y convierto la situación con detalles irónicos, si no hilarantes. Coloqué un gato, por ejemplo, con ojos fosforescentes en una escena bucólica, o en el tema del Carnaval mezclo muerte, ridiculización y bromas". (Antonio Monda, "Entrevista con Max Pellegrini", en Max Pellegrini, eds. Danilo Eccher, 2014
