Apriti cielo

Velasco Vitali
Charta

"Mainly he draws," an Italian critic once wrote about Velasco's work with laconic irony, for draw he certainly does: sitting, standing, in front of the TV, in a bar, on the beach. Ceaselessly, everywhere, anywhere, day after day, the pieces of paper pile up. Remarkably, then, this is the first book to document the artist's prolific work on paper.

Fabrics of the 1940s jump off the pages with vibrant colors in florals, stripes, checks, and plaids in full color photos. The war years saw a profusion of designs shown primarily in patriotic colors of red, white, and blue, many of them in patterns of stars and stripes, navy and airplane themes. Fabrics of the peace years reflect colors, bolder florals and geometric graphics that would continue well into the 50s.
