Scaramouz & Columbine mit Masque - Limited Edition 1 of 50 Artwork

Time marches on, and both the Commedia dell’Arte itself, and the Bustelli’s figurines it inspired, have become archaic and, as regards the figurines, kitch. Figurines of this subject matter are now regarded as dust catching bric-a-brack suitable for carnival prizes and garish lamp bases. Yet, these particularly elegant figures can still tell a story. They are people, albeit frozen in porcelain. Bowden’s Pastel Series of eight giclee prints, based on eight of the sixteen Bustelli characters, explores the continuous thread of story telling, theater, and print making in image as well as text. Realized in pastel and/ or lush colorations, recalling the era of their creation, the plates give new life and verve to the characters of Commedia dell’Arte and pay tribute to the achievements of Anton Bustelli over two hundred and fifty years ago.
