Mezzetino | Commedia dell Arte Couture Edition | Vivienne Westwood Tiere the contours of the fish

the contours of the fish are printed outlines from copper plates on tissue paper

from which they are transferred to the plates and then hand painted in detail

da der Pfau die Vanitas – die Eitelkeit – verkörpert

indischer oder tasmanischer Pfeffer: Würzen ist längst nicht mehr nur Chefsache

Der Detailreichtum der Figuren kommt in seiner samtig matten Oberfläche mit allen Feinheiten zum Ausdruck

Mezzetino | Commedia dell Arte Couture Edition | Vivienne Westwood Tiere the contours of the fishThe employment of Franz Anton Bustelli in November 1754 turned out to be a tremendous stroke of luck for the manufactory. The artistic highlight of his body of work are, without a doubt, his sixteen characters from the Commedia dell'Arte. With these creations he depicts tense and humorous relationships. Each of these figures not only shows the role they play through their posture, but also make corresponding statements with their gestures.
