Menu for Today…Human Meat 1959

Victor Prezio concocted “Menu for Today…Human Meat” with paint, though when and where are a mystery. The scene unfolds on a steep rocky slope. A rugged man and a woman, clad in a red bikini, are caught in the crosshairs. I imagine Prezio, brush in hand, building up those rock formations, layer by layer, capturing every nook and cranny with precision. The tan brushstrokes blend, creating depth and texture, like a miniature landscape sculpted on canvas. There’s something about the faces that’s so appealing. The woman has a look of terror, gazing upward, while the man is resolute. You know, painting is about storytelling, isn’t it? The brushstrokes are like words, each dab of color adding to the narrative. Prezio, it seems, was immersed in an older, fraught visual language. It’s all an exchange of ideas across time, inspiring creativity.
