It&#8217;s almost incredible realising how all the critics who have been interested in Francesco Vaccarone&#8217;s activity, although sensing the fundamental openings of his works, have never mentioned Max Ernst, mentioning on the contrary other names. In fact, it was Ernst the one who seems to be the real great point of historical reference for Vaccarone&#8217;s imaginative concept.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Roy Oppenheim<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nVaccarone is the son of an epoch characterised by continuous and progressive upheavals.

These shapes order themselves, or are ready to be ordered, as the pieces of a future work. I mean that the image&#8217;s core is already contained in their open order. In this game, the premises of a cosmic vision are magically ricomposed, and it seems to me that they give even more frequently evidence of the presence of objects and human being. Thus, a double phenomenon (simultaneously developing on the same picture or sheet of drawing paper) can be observed in Vaccarone&#8217;s painting and drawings: the shapes spread and aggregate themselves .<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Enzo Carli<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOn my opinion, this is due to the fact that each aspect and suggestion from the external world, once filtered and transfigured by the artist&#8217;s sensitiveness and fancy, becomes part of his own personal story. It also reproduces his inner travail which, once it has drawed the terms belonging to a conventional lexicon of his own from the deepness of his soul, gives shape and fits it to the various circumstances and meaningful occasions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Francesco Barocelli<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nVaccarone licks these desert beaches belonging to the 20th Century artistic production, coloured with the colours of sky and ochre. He fixes them in his memory; he follows them, as he wants to conform the expression to the refinement of shapes. He tries to cancel the internal drawing, with technique and mind, he does all he can in order to extinguish naturalistic references, in order to reduce to a visual formula the prototypical idea (from prototype to shape; from the shape to the casual and serial repetition; &#8220;simila similibus curantur&#8221;. But it is also certain that in Nature nothing is similar to itself.)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Enrico Crispolti<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nVaccarone works on emblematic analogy. He builds emblematic structures of analogical value. Vaccarone\u2019s painting realizes a strong psychological mediation. And these emblematic structures are a sort of \u201ctests\u201d able to psychical reactivity. His painting is not an optical one. The \u201cvisual-perceptive\u201d mediation does not interest him. He does not tell, he does not report, he does not describe, he does not suggest, he meets. His painting has been expressed concretely in construction of formal structures offering for a twofold collation. Of the painter himself, in comparison to their reached objectification (and to the course to reach it); and of the spectator, of the reader, in comparison with he same objectivity in which the painter is set free. But also behind the one, where he hides himself.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Peter Frank<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n&#8230;Things happen in a Vaccarone painting or drawing, but it\u2019s not often obvious what\u2019s exactly happening, or how, or why. There is an eventfulness to Vaccarone\u2019s pictures that is bigger than the events themselves; he has used art \u2013 his vision, his skill \u2013 to make universal the experience of events and conditions even as he makes such experience surprising and often unpredictable&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Valerio Deh\u00f2<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>Francesco Vaccarone&#8217;s whole work&nbsp; is marked by a contrast between his own undeniable and uninterrupted vocation towards art and a passion towards the participation to the world of men and events.

It also reproduces his inner travail which, once it has drawed the terms belonging to a conventional lexicon of his own from the deepness of his soul, gives shape and fits it to the various circumstances and meaningful occasions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Francesco Barocelli<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nVaccarone licks these desert beaches belonging to the 20th Century artistic production, coloured with the colours of sky and ochre. He fixes them in his memory; he follows them, as he wants to conform the expression to the refinement of shapes. He tries to cancel the internal drawing, with technique and mind, he does all he can in order to extinguish naturalistic references, in order to reduce to a visual formula the prototypical idea (from prototype to shape; from the shape to the casual and serial repetition; &#8220;simila similibus curantur&#8221;. But it is also certain that in Nature nothing is similar to itself.)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Enrico Crispolti<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nVaccarone works on emblematic analogy. He builds emblematic structures of analogical value. Vaccarone\u2019s painting realizes a strong psychological mediation. And these emblematic structures are a sort of \u201ctests\u201d able to psychical reactivity. His painting is not an optical one. The \u201cvisual-perceptive\u201d mediation does not interest him. He does not tell, he does not report, he does not describe, he does not suggest, he meets. His painting has been expressed concretely in construction of formal structures offering for a twofold collation. Of the painter himself, in comparison to their reached objectification (and to the course to reach it); and of the spectator, of the reader, in comparison with he same objectivity in which the painter is set free. But also behind the one, where he hides himself.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Peter Frank<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n&#8230;Things happen in a Vaccarone painting or drawing, but it\u2019s not often obvious what\u2019s exactly happening, or how, or why. There is an eventfulness to Vaccarone\u2019s pictures that is bigger than the events themselves; he has used art \u2013 his vision, his skill \u2013 to make universal the experience of events and conditions even as he makes such experience surprising and often unpredictable&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Valerio Deh\u00f2<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>Francesco Vaccarone&#8217;s whole work&nbsp; is marked by a contrast between his own undeniable and uninterrupted vocation towards art and a passion towards the participation to the world of men and events.
