If you thought you were alone and crazy in the struggle against complacency and the current world order, Tambellini is there. Youthful, righteous, and bitterly funny, he has been with us, a painter of the written word , a caster of shadows and lights in the lanterna magica tradition, a one-man gran guignol for 70 years.

More DescriptionIf you thought you were alone and crazy in the struggle against complacency and the current world order, Tambellini is there. Youthful, righteous, and bitterly funny, he has been with us, a painter of the written word , a caster of shadows and lights in the lanterna magica tradition, a one-man gran guignol for 70 years. Born in the United States in 1930 and taken to Italy at 18 months old, Tambellini came of age during World War II, and returned to post-war America at sixteen. He has lived under Mussolini, contemporary American fascism (which he predicted) and everything in-between. Selected Poems of Aldo Tambellini (1946-2016) spells out the man, and exposes an emotional dimension that will lead to reinterpretations and new understanding of the vast Tambellini oeuvre. Listen is the unsuspected poetic legacy of an iconic American artist.
