An article appearing in the online version of "The Arena " entitled " Tosi against Venetian painting -" A work clearly blasphemous "" made me think a little more 'on topic-art-censorship satire.
After the complaint against Paunescu, the mayor of Verona, Flavio Tosi arts outrageous attack back and this time, the victim of his critics, the picture was called "blasphemous" by Giuseppe Veneziano . The picture shows the Madonna and baby Jesus, but is painted with the physical features of Hilter. No coincidence that the title is "The Lady of the Third Reich."
Venice has always painted with this provocative and ironic vein has often represented the historical figures past and present in areas of faith and not.
Tosi, however, did not like the bad taste of the painter and voiced his disappointment speaking of "a work blasphemous," "a work that offends the Catholic religion." If it was up to him, that picture would have been covered, censored.
But then I and I ask you: when it is right to censor art? Be it music, cinema, painting, poetry, satire, etc. ...
I believe that we should never censor when the work is the development of a critical fact, a person or an ideology. The art, from ancient times, has always brought out the taboos of society throwing open the doors to freedom of expression.
Aphorisms on Art ...
Albert Camus: The Art the real challenges, but there is subtracted.
Paul Gauguin: Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Ugo Foscolo: The art is not to represent something new, but to represent with news.
The satire is a free form of theater that is historically and culturally , Recalls Luttazzi , " answers the need of the human spirit: the oscillation between the sacred and the profane "
