few days ago, David took a picture from his window. It was dawn, the sun was rising transforming the sky with clouds in an abstract painting of incredible colors. He photographed the sky at different times of the day after a long time and the colors vary depending on the presence or absence of the sun or the moon. E 'satisfying to have a broader view, gives a sense of breath. Especially David is happy.
David has a fantasy without barriers, whether in painting, engraving, photograph and compose music. Last night I heard in the headphones the last two songs he composed: very beautiful, addatissimi for the soundtrack of a film. His head is full of melodies, a river that flows without stopping. Through a period in which he composed for hours and hours on end. Then suddenly it happens that he sees an object that inspires him, he gets an idea for a photo, look for the right light, is a composition and thus creates a lot of original photos. Years ago, went to advertising agencies showing their work. All around the table looking at the photos with great interest and with exclamations like: "Interesting! What good ideas! Bravo!" They said come back in a couple of days to give an answer on the possible use of their images.
But then the answer was always: "Sorry, the photos are beautiful but very raw and not suitable for our agency." On "the Republic" is a pop- advertisement of a famous brand of watches. The image was copied wholesale from a picture of David. A resounding plagiarism. In 2001 David riding his scooter along the Tiber Flaminio. Pass a series of billboards and ... damn!! Brake and back. A copy of a picture of her stands on one of the posters. It 'really shameless imitation and who carried it out did not even bother to make any substantive changes. This is the image of a girl on the mouth and eyes which were applied patches: an icon of sorrowful complaint which does not need any caption.
Surely in the days when he had left the photo agency had made copies and then use them to their liking. And ruthless. This has happened several times. David wrote a book about his adventures in the art world. Incredible things, but true.
on my blog and he adds that the photos, taking them from our book or the Internet, lightening, shrinking, correct it. It 'a virtuoso. I am also noted grammatical errors and sometimes tells me to look for another word to give more effect to the sentence. It makes me laugh when he thinks I wrote a phrase "from foreign" and the composition should be reviewed. After all, are foreign and Italian at the same time he married an Italian. E After half a century of residence in this country.
David as an artist and teacher deserves top marks.
