Publisher's Synopsis
Gian Marco Montesano's signs, which annual every form of passion, are often inspired by history or collective memories. Montesano is perhaps the only Italian artist who has achieved a truly conceptual kind of painting that can stand up to other expressive media such as photography and installation. His famous paintings of Stalin and Hitler convey not only who they were as dictators and theoreticians of communism and Nazism, but also how they used art as a vehicle for culture and propaganda.
