Stonecutter - New Contemporary Black & White Figure

2/2/2018

0 Comments

 
Michelangelo's work is often on my mind. It has been even more so lately as I was able to visit the Met's "Michelangelo: Divine Draftsman and Designer" exhibit. The experience was amazing and you can see my sketches of his work on my blog.

​The Italian word for stonecutter is scalpellino and Michelangelo identified with this profession as much as he did as an artist. As a child, he was reared in a stone quarry and felt at home among the cutters and carvers. This painting is a portrait, of sorts, of Michelangelo and all the other strong and hardy scalpellini that came before and after.
