Bartolini's articles reveal a persistent challenge to conventional craft and mainstream standards.
The book collects some of the articles that Sigfrido Bartolini wrote for Italian newspapers and magazines between the 1990s and 2004. Unlike the previous anthology, La Grande Impostura, published in 2002, it brings together contributions that agree with the definition of the canon that Sigfrido intended to oppose to the mainstream, the latter meaning the substantial rejection of "artisan" quality (knowing how to draw, knowing how to engrave, knowing how to paint).Foreword by Angelo Crespi. Afterword by Simonetta Bartolini.
