Notan Design Comic Book Art Italy
Cari Amici
(Dear Friends),
Is it just me or does
this mosaic stone design in Siena’s Duomo
look very contemporary? The use of the Notan design (mostly two-tone of light and dark) reminds me very
much of comic book art, especially
this last image I share with you.
Portraying emotion with the simplest, but clever, design of light and
shadow shapes: I could believe this was
art of today if I saw it spray-painted onto a public wall. What do you think?
If you find yourself in
Tuscany before 26 October 2013, I hope you will go see the temporary unveiling
of the highly decorative stone floor of the Duomo
(Cathedral) in Siena. http://www.operaduomo.siena.it/
More of the Divina
Bellezza or “Divine Beauty”exhibition and the Duomo in Siena in the next post.
