Tono Zancanaro SATYRICON

Dario — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 17:03:17 +0000

The well-known artist Tono Zancanaro (Padua 1906-1985) illustrated numerous literary works, to name a few the “Bertoldo and Bertoldino” by G.C.Croce, “The war of the salamanders” by K. Capek, “The Divine Comedy” by D. Alighieri , “Votive and sepulchral EPIGRAMS” From the 6th and 7th book of the Palatine Anthology, the “Novelle” by G. Verga, numerous volumes of literature poetry and more.
The “Satyricon” was the first work he illustrated, but until today the sheets have always been published and exhibited in numerous exhibitions individually and not as a corpus. Although many works have been lost, this volume collects the 209 sheets that remain today in the Tono Zancanaro Historical Archive in Padua, in addition to the two specially made lithographic folders.
The drawings are preceded by a brief description of the “Satyricon” and its author, and of the editions used by Tono for his work, and followed by the complete text of the fragments that have come down to us from 60 AD.

Tono Zancanaro LE DONNE E GLI AMORI DI TONO

Dario — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 16:33:24 +0000

The monograph presents the women, real and imaginary, important in the life and work of Tono Zancanaro. Each female reference is accompanied by a description and a photographic corpus of works by the Paduan master.
Women are not only ethereal figures to be admired for the beauty of their forms, for Tono Zancanaro they are first of all human beings, who are fulfilled through work, and for this reason an important part of his works is dedicated to female work: from workers to peasant women, from intellectuals to mondariso. Some of Tono’s most significant works in both painting and ceramics are dedicated to the hard work of the weeders.

Tono Zancanaro GLOSSARIO

Dario — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 19:04:51 +0000

The volume includes the glossary of terms, places, people, characters referring to the works of the well-known artist Tono Zancanaro (Padua 1906-1985).
Why a Zancanarian glossary? Tono was very fond of inserting captions not only as titles, but also as an explanation of the context on the sheet, particularly in the political-satirical cycles of Gibbo (who was he?), of the Demopretoni (who are they?), of the neo Gibbo (gibbo again? ) and the Palagonese monsters (does the Prince of Palagonia have anything to do with it?), and already understanding, interpreting, reconstructing these writings is not easy. This lettering is always played by Tono on the calembour, on the meanings of the words and their possible interpretations, perhaps slightly altering or replacing a term, so for example the Mussolinian phrase “Every house a guardhouse” becomes gibbonically for Tono “Every house a pig-guard”.
