He apparently started Fascist related but removed himself from those guys, got religious, and died as a colonel in WWII. Usually artists don't go that way. More unusual and weird is the involvement of other Italian artists with Mussolini Fascism like the Futurists. Again, artists are generally not of that stripe, although Mussolini wasn't quite the anti-modern art guy that Hitler was. There was a show at the Guggenheim a few years about the Italian Futurist movement. I didn't know anything about before that. <br /><br />I couldn't find anything about where any Oppi paintings can be seen. emjayayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790208989570059525noreply@blogger.com
