註釋The dreams, but above all the nightmares of Daniel Johnston return in his first Italian solo show at Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea, in a series of colored or black+white drawings that narrate the eternal struggle between good and evil through the quirky imagery of the artist. A documentary film will also be shown by the independent filmmaker Jeff Feuerzeig, The Devil and Daniel Johnston (USA, 2005, Tartan DVD). The film, based on the memories of his parents, siblings, ex-manager Jeff Tartakov, journalists, friends and musicians, retraces the tormented existence, the illness and the artistic career of a veritable cult hero. A winner in 2005 at the Sundance Festival, the production draws on a vast quantity of video and audio material (amateur tapes, audio letters, comics, drawings) as well as many interviews. In this raw, sincere portrait we see all the most important moments of the life of Daniel Johnston, from his love for Laurie to his bipolar crises, his religious torments to his drive for success: the virtues and foibles of an authentic talent. Materials illustrating the artist's career - including the book The Life, Art & Music of Daniel Johnston (first edition 2000) and his latest CDs - will be available at the gallery.
