| A series of portraits,
where the Artist, venturing as far as the thresholds of cynicism,
represents the subject's inner world ontologically conceived as a
multiplicity of ideas, concepts, actions. Author of the portraits is Bruno Loeb, an architect and a painter, born in 1938 in Trieste, Italy, where, along with Marcel Prawy, Max Brand, Lawrence Durrell, Gregor von Rezzori, he belonged to that eclectic workshop of prevalently mitteleuropean intellectuals, known as the "Primorskii Atelier". A late follower of the Weimar Republic's "Neuesachlichkeit" (the New Objectivity artistic movement), interested in the culture of the Diaspora, creator in cabalistic terms of sketches, stage sets and costumes for the avant-garde Yiddish Theater, Bruno Loeb has always devoted himself to portraits, allegorically depicting, in every human values ambiguity, some of the best-known protagonists of the international cultural scenery. A figurative expression's languages experimenter, Bruno Loeb is present in many public and private collections as well, as an illustrator, in books and cultural magazines. |
