Title A name given to the resource Tom DiSalvo: Beyond the Nets / Art works Subject The topic of the resource Italy -- Emigration and immigration -- Italian-American art -- United States -- Art history -- 20th century Description An account of the resource “Quando un'anima nasce in questo paese le vengono gettate delle reti per impedire che fugga. Tu mi parli di religione, lingua e nazionalità: io cercherò di fuggire da quelle reti. “ “When the soul is born… it has a slow and dark birth, more mysterious than the birth of the body. When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets.” James Joyce’s words in “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” inspired the title of this exhibit for they encapsulate the character of Tom DiSalvo. The works in “Al di là delle reti / Beyond the nets” are a small representation of over 310 canvases painted throughout the artist’s career. Many of them measure 7X9 feet, a characteristic to keep in mind while appreciating the details in this virtual format. Several works interlace images and text and beg to be read aloud. Indulge them; and indulge yourself revisiting them for a unique encounter each time. Pre-Covid I looked forward to regularly engaging with the selection of canvases displayed at Florida Atlantic Univerity's Boca Raton Campus. They invariably triggered self-reflection. I am honored to share those and others, along with oral histories, commentaries, and personal artifacts that celebrate the passion and talent of Tom DiSalvo. I hope that your own journey through these works leads you on an alluring and unremitting path. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oLIXSjEVNxI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Tom DiSalvo Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Exhibit “Al di là delle reti / Beyond the nets” Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1972-2001 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Domenica Diraviam, Dr. Viviana Pezzullo, Federico Tiberini, Dr. Ilaria Serra Language A language of the resource en, it, es, ja, fr, el, lat, hi, Type The nature or genre of the resource Painting Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant US Still Image A static visual representation.
