lucio fontana: man crush

Sure he's a little old for me,

not to mention dead,

but boy,

 I think I would have a had a good time with Old Lucio.

His work is sexy and beautiful,

and while what he would have thought of me 

is another question...

he does seem to like both slits and holes, so you never know....

A pear AND a banana, 

maybe I would have had a chance....

"Scultura Astratta"

1934

LOVE this.

"Concetto Spaziale, La Fine di Dino"

1963

Why do I find these so sensual?

I don't find them violent at all.

Look at that handsome devil!

Nice hairdo too.

I love seeing artists from this period
working in a dress shirt and tie.

More pierced sexy egg art.

The color is all screwed up in this picture,

it is actually hot pink.

Maybe I missed the 

"Lucio is Sexy" 

lecture in art school,

but this sexiness

is coming as a surprise to me....

Corso Monforte

Milano

1957-58

I know a friend, Bruno Gambone, who traded

a painting with Lucio 

(Bruno was a minimalist painter before he returned to ceramics)

but never went to pick it up

from his studio.

Years passed, and then it was too late.

I love when Bruno tells that story,

because instead of being sad or pissed,

he laughs!

You have to love the Italians.

These are weird and cool right?

I had never seen these before.

Looks like they move.

Spacy sexy,

and I'm not talking Kevin.

"Concetto Spaziale"

I guess you get a good title and run with it....

I could have bought just one of these years ago.

Wish I had.

What was I thinking?

I guess I was thinking I was buying only 1/2 of a piece of art.

The single

must have been the result of a divorce.

"Honey you get the slit, I get the two holes...."

Hum, 

I'll refrain from commenting 

on what it looks like is going on here....

Step into the slit.
