The project aims to protect the artist's work and at the same time make splendid drawings that Bucci made during the 1920s and 1930s during his trips to Italy, Europe, the Middle East and the East public, accessible and purchasable by the public.
This first volume collects a series of four albums with drawings made between October 1928 and February 1930, a period that we know Bucci lived between Paris and Milan in a not very clear "Franco-Milanese amphibian life" (according to a curious definition by Ugo Nebbia of 1930).
There are animals, projects for the steamship California, for which he designed and created the interiors (together with those for two other ships, Timavo and Duchessa d'Aosta), some beautiful tables taken at La Scala and dedicated to the performances of Tannhauser and the Girl of the West, but above all splendid female nudes.
The sketch for the work "Funeral of an Anarchist", created in Rome in 1919 with clear Futurist intentions, is also published here for the first time.
The framed works are offered accompanied by the volume that contains them and documents the genesis of the Master's creative moment.
The Studiolo gallery proceeds with the archiving of the Master's works through the Anselmo Bucci Archive Milan
