I need to take care of a few things, need to disappear for a week, and there won't be any new posts for that period of time.

Please check back in several days.  Thanks for visiting ).

Kurt Wenner, Maestro Madonnaro

About 25 years ago, I saw this photo of Kurt Wenner's astonishing 'Dies Irae' and that's when I learned about madonnari.  Wenner is a master of anamorphosis and trompe l'oeil, and arguably the greatest living madonnaro who reinvented the street art.

YouTube videos of some of Wenner's artworks.

It's nice that 'Masterpieces in Chalk' featuring Wenner, a National Geographic documentary made in the 1980's, is available online.
