WALTER MAC MAZZIERI
by Dino Buzzati
(from "Corriere della Sera", Milan, October 26th 1971)

LE NUVOLE OLTREPASSANDO I MONTI PERDONO FANTASIE, 1970, olio su tela 70 x 90 cm, particolareA gentle face who could work as a model for Christ framed by  not too fluent hair and a redundant small Abraham Lincoln-style  beard.

 The same gentleness and kindness in his way of acting; contrasting with his paintings where sturdy and knotty fairy-tale beings twist, moan, clasp their heads in their hands desperately; beings which seem to come out from a rocky Mexican saga and on the contrary they sprang from the mountain dwellers on the Modena Apennines, where Mazzieri was born twenty-four years ago. 

No doubt he created his odd reign inhabited by unusual heraldic animals, carried out with such a technical skill to be a case of precocity.
