The project aims to protect the artist's work and at the same time make public, 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 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 built 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.
Also published for the first time is the sketch for the work “Funerals of an anarchist”, created in Rome in 1919 with clear futuristic intentions.
The works, framed, are accompanied by the complete reproduction of the volume that contains them, documenting punctually 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
