Antonio Pessoa - best of

. juego sensual,1997 .

There's no doubt Antonio Pessoa's Black and White album,1997 / 1998 , is very likely one of his most important revelations as a skillful drawer,provided with an imagination far beyond the average,let alone his striking hard work method which has won him the reputation of a production phenomenon only comparable to Great Masters such as Picasso,Salvador Dali,Van Gogh and Jackson Pollock.
Reading Jacob Kotsky's erudite reviews about Antonio Pessoa's life and work,anyone is bound for becoming at least reasonably aware of Antonio Pessoa's Live drawing performances during his 20's in places such as Mallorca,Ibiza,Sitges,Algarve and Nice.

Obviously this astonishing impressive drawing high technique and great command of the basic,traditional charcoal on paper is going to provide him later on with countless model topics for his oil on canvas and all sort of mixed media artworks till the New Era days.
If Antonio Pessoa in 1997 / 1998 produced more than six hundred high quality drawings,it's very probable that during the ten years before he might have accomplished more than four thousand.
Antonio Pessoa's drawing skillfulness deriving from practice and talent,should be stamped as the very best of his best of.
Both Professor Edward Calvet and art critic Mr.Jacob Kotsky,two more than reliable art experts,agree with the theory that Antonio Pessoa has been proving himself to be undeniably one of the last fine arts dinosaurs of our times.
