Italian

madonnari

Italian

madonnari

were vagabond artists noted for a life of travel between festivals.They often lived solely from the coins tossed onto or next to their drawing as homage to the Madonna and possibly their skill.

They

arrived in towns and cities to paint religious pictures directly on the

paved

public squares, using chalk, brick, charcoal, and colored

stones as

their medium

. In Italy, street painters are called Madonnari after their practice

of reproducing

images of the Madonna (St. Mary). Their work is tied to the rich history of

Italian

religious art, and is connected to

iconsSlide8

revival

madonnari

were true

folk artists, reproducing simple images with minimal materials.Thanks to the International Street Painting Festival in Grazie di Curtatone

in Northern Italy

in 1972, the

art form has been

revitalized

.

Today

a growing number of artists are carrying on the tradition and are introducing new images and materials.Slide9

Festivals

The

first recorded street-painting competition and 'festival' was held in London in 1906.

In 1972 the first 'Italian' International Street Painting Competition was held in Grazie di

Curtatone, Italy. In 1987, Wenner and Manfred Stader introduced street painting to Old Mission Santa Barbara, California.

One of the largest events in the United States is the Lake Worth Street Painting Festival, held in Lake Worth Florida. Started in 1994, it attracts 100,000 visitors over the weekend to see 250 works of art by over 400 artists.

Master artist -3D

Kurt

wenner

In 1982 Kurt

Wenner combined traditional street painting techniques with his understanding of illusion to invent an art form all his own Called anamorphic, illusionistic, or 3D pavement art. In 1985, National Geographic documented

Wenner’s

works

of art in their award- winning film

Masterpieces in Chalk

.

Today all artists creating 3D pavement artworks can trace its origins back to

Wenner’s

invention.
