Daniele Vollmar

For the first time, this book shows a large selection of paintings on canvas and silk, which the popular Swiss artist Daniele Vollmar realized from the beginning of her career, at the end of the Eighties, until 2011, when she died. “Sensitibility is not something she has ever put on display but has always kept to herself, also because, in the metabolism of social values, it has become a highly suspect requisite, calling for protection against the threat of dissipation. Daniele Vollmar has always belonged, in short, to that breed for whom intellectual elegance is primarily ethos, a moral imperative.” Giuliano Serafini “Sensibilitat stellt man nicht zur Schau, behalt sie fur sich, darum auch, weil sie schliesslich im sozialenWertewandel zu einem verdachtigen Requisit verkommen ist. Also ist es besser, sie zu schutzen, statt sie zu verschwenden. Daniele Vollmar war also vom Menschenschlag, fur den geistige Eleganz vor allem ein Ethos darstellt, einen moralischen Imperativ.” Giuliano Serafini
