Jester and clown


I am showing these two clowns from the DL collection. Tony liked clowns and harlequins and jesters because it gave him space to invent costumes and colors. He did many for DL who worked in one of the biggest circuses in the world. Why do I show this? Well look at the different way of handling the material, the different 'style'... once you understand it is all Tony Mafia you'll understand why it would be hard to imitate him. Yet it would be easy to fool people because Tony could do almost anything in painting.
