Lovely Lisa Cralle doesn't know if she is more intrigued with his art or his name. Ever heard of Safet Zec? But everyone we ran into said we must see this show at the Correo Museum (hidden on the second floor above the Florian in Piazza San Marco). This remarkable Bosnian artist lost his home and his entire body of work when his studio in Sarajevo was blown during the war. He now lives in Venice and dramatically showed all of us how to see the world in an entirely new way. Not only is he perhaps the most prolific and confident painter in the style of Wyeth, he makes painting the ordinary (shirts, bedsheets, interiors of row boats, studio reality) absolutely powerful.
On the heels of this experience, we had one of those quotidian events - the daily setting of the sun as we drove back to Corciano.
