All of this started from the analysis that Gian Marco Montesano fulfilled in a conference to the Strozzina Foundation (Florence), focused on the question “the crisis of painting and the art system”. On the basis of prefiguring made by John Adams, the second president of the United States, in 1785: “….. I have to study the policy and the war so that my children have the opportunity to learn the mathematics, philosophy, the trade and navigation, in this way their children will have the possibility to devote himself to painting and poetry, music and porcelain. . .” Montesano makes a wide parable starting from the concept of progress, understood as a progressive liberation rights from work, first determined then undetermined (Marx). In the context of this socio-political change the painting, from “do determined’ turns into dynamic exchange value, thus economy and a source of investment. Since the second ‘900, in the context of constant denials, mutations and “false” renovations, the art system brings the painting to become a genre secondary, unable to keep in step of the times and to compete with the art “new” of the moment, innovative and trend…., that is no really new, but only an expression dressed in new which is aligned formulas centuries old. Montesano, in conclusion, cannot avoid to enunciate the impossibility of escape to become historical, in act from centuries, and to take note that the dispose of the change (the real of society and therefore of the system of the art), not stop front of nothing and no one. Therefore we are all destined to disappear. As says Baudrillard, we must disappear and there are two ways to do this: disappear good and disappear bad. Gian Marco Montesano said to me: “Please let me disappear well!” And I have disappear him in The Dream of Don Bosco! He has addressed many times this iconography in his paintings (to better understand you can search news about “the dream of the two columns”). The artist post modern, conscious of his end epochal, found refuge in a construction never completed (only the skeleton of a building) of a periphery indistinct and “post-human”, secure between the Virgin Mary and the Cross of Christ, exhibiting a flag that exalted his non-existence..... GMM NOT EXISTS (exists only as market value, not as individual) and playing Chopin.
