The photographer Robert Zuckerman about Antonio Veronese’s work:
Dear Antonio, your art is dizzying and rich with feeling. To me your paintings and photographs fly free from the soul, always giving honor and love to your subjects. Thank you for warming my heart. As Rilke: “The inner- what is it if not intensified sky, hurled through with birds and deep with the winds of homecoming ”. Thank you, I am humbled. -Robert Zuckerman. Zuckerman a great photographer of Hollywood’s cinema history.
Veronese peint des visages. Ses portraits ne relèvent pas de l’apparence, du mondain, de l’avantageux. Ils ne cherchent pas à plaire ou à faire bonne figure, aucun ne refrène un sourire. Ils semblent réclamer de nous une fraternité perdue, que nous ne pouvons leur donner. Et soudain, nous nous reconnaissons, chacun de nous prisonnier de soi-même. Ces visages sont les nôtres: sous le pinceau de Veronese, nous sommes tous Dorian Gray -Antoine Arsan, écrivain. *Auteur de Rien de trop · Eloge du haïku (Galli

I often hear that Veronese’s faces evoke child prisoners in Brazil. But this is a reductive idea! It is true that her closeness for years with these distressed children has strongly marked her painting, but what it releases is deeper and more complex. In reality, it is our perplexity painted by Veronese, our helplessness in the face of life and the world today. That’s why he’s beyond fashion, that’s why it’s a classic. It was lacking in our time, poisoned by galloping abstractionism and the nihilism of conceptual art, someone who draws the face of contemporaneity. That’s exactly what Veronese is doing. (Modesto Lanzone- director of Museo Italo-American of Fort Mason, San Francisco, USA)
