144 Art if you don't put it aside

What do the nostalgic watercolors of Hermann Hesse, the rock portraits of Paul McCartney and David Bowie, the erotic drawings of Federico Fellini, the landscapes of the English countryside by Winston Churchill, the pop lithographs of Johnny Depp have in common? They are pictorial works by artists who did something completely different in life. The almost secret passion for painting has involved many famous people, and Mimmo Di Marzio (Gli insospettabili. Da Goethe a David Bowie, la pittura come seconda vita, Giunti) talks with Serena Piazza and embarks with us on an entertaining journey through the "minor" works of great singers, actors, directors... who sought and found on canvas the path to their inner balance.
