Lucio Del Pezzo: Metaphysical Salted Codfish
Academia Barilla - Historical Menus
In Lucio Del Pezzo’s artistic vision, the menu becomes a three-dimensional experimentation of the serving dish concept. The Metaphysical Salted Codfish created for Livio and Wilma Cerini of Castegnate, develops in artistic geometric shapes.
In the artistic vision of Lucio Del Pezzo (1933-2020), the menu becomes a three-dimensional experiment on the concept of serving dishes. The Metaphysical Salted Codfish, made for Livio and Wilma Cerini of Castegnate, develops into geometric shapes that become refined table centerpieces.
A work that fits well with the author’s stylistic choices, characterized by irony expressed through the use of everyday objects, decontextualized and repurposed in forms of material and tactile painting. There’s no shortage of Futurist references-the ideal drive of Marinetti and Fillìa, known for their “designed” gastronomic creations.
