Vittorio Bellini (Bergamo, Italy, 1936-2009) always worked between Paris and Bergamo.
This painting is part of the series “Scene of eternal childhood”, focus on the children world; the artist paints simple and stylized drawings on his expressionist works using oil and collage with newspapers and magazines. He imagines that the children passing by the streets sketch their drawings on posters and advertisings; in this way they ingenuosly make the world more joyful and optimist. The message is easy: when we start to look at things with the eyes of a child our lives will be more peacefulness and less complicated.
