The project aims to protect the artist's work and at the same time make publicly available, accessible and purchasable by the public the splendid drawings that Bucci made during the Twenties and Thirties during his travels in Italy, Europe, the Middle East and the East.
This first volume collects a series of four albums with drawings executed between October 1928 and February 1930, a period we know Bucci lived between Paris and Milan in a not very clear “Franco - Milanese amphibious life” (according to a curious definition by Ugo Nebbia in 1930).
There are animals, projects for the California steamer, 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 La Fanciulla del West, but above all splendid female nudes.
The sketch for the work “Funerali di un anarchico” (Funeral of an Anarchist) is also published here for the first time, created in Rome in 1919 with clear futurist intentions.
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 to archive the works of the Master through the Anselmo Bucci Archive Milan
