Paolo Ventura – “War and Flowers”
This summer I began painting flowers, picking them up from their roots, near my studio in Anghiari, Tuscany. Along with the roots and the earth, the war emerges, too. Where I gather flowers, the English and the Germans fought in the summer of 1944, for months they butchered each other on those hills. They left behind, ammunition, shoeas, bombs and the dead. The earth has absorbed them, enrobed them, tarnished them. Where I gather flowers, the war emerges, too.
