Marco Travaglio and Frank Federighi
I must admit with great frankness and pride that I am honored to "journalistically" satisfy the requests of the witty Travaglio.
When you commission me to do a caricature portrait, I know that the truth will be told, there is no escape, and if it is my caricature that makes everything more true and ironic, well, I can't help but love my job and continue to do it with great professionalism, because everything written above is a confirmation that I am doing well but it is also a reward because I work for real journalism
sorry but it's not much!

If you also want to be "investigated" by me and you are not afraid then contact me and you will be amazed by how much you know how to catch your soul!
Poised between portrait and caricature
Portrait and caricature of Clint Eastwood, as you can see the photographic reference is the same.
With the portrait it is inevitable, you reach a point that you have to stop - and this for me is a great sacrifice - and from that point forward if you push the caricature emerges, it is inevitable and this is why I chose not to stop, by doing so I manage to explore new and infinite worlds of the human soul, new anatomical forms - even if already suggested by the portrait - and for this reason I choose caricature all my life.

Delivery of the "paper" prize to Frank for the work done in his career as a pageista of the page for famous newspapers and weeklies
Francesco Federighi in Art Frank at a moment during the awards ceremony held last May 10th, the "Cartacea" award is for the career of the well-known Tuscan caricaturist for the work carried out over these years, creating grotesque faces of politics for the major Italian and foreign magazines precisely "Cartacee", the award in question is a magnificent work made by the expert hands of the master tank driver Cinquini.
Caricature in depth..
With the real caricature, gifts to the character portrayed the identity that has always had to light the hidden sides that live in depth.
But the caricaturist has the task of making visible to all these shades
Apparently imperceptible, and does it through the graphic shock, altering the somatic features of the subject targeted.
This is for me to do "caricature"!

“Caricature is the completed journey of the portrait”
The portrait, the "canonical" one, has always been a pimp towards the subject depicted, it embellishes the features in the soul, moving further and further away from the true subject, therefore I feel like saying that it masks the truth, the caricature does the diametric opposite, through exasperations, it gives the truth of the soul, of the somatic features, revealing tics, grimaces and everything that characterizes a face, here the true caricature serves to unmask, giving light to the true self of the soul and physiognomy, this is why I have always asserted that caricature is the completed journey of the portrait!
Frank
Caricature serves to “Unmask, at least the one done well!
The portrait, at least the "Canonical" one, serves to disguise defects, etc., to embellish! The caricature, the one done well, does diametrically the opposite, through a careful investigation, through expressive exaggeration it gives the observer the true self, the true soul of the depicted subject the various tics giving the observer an amazing reality, sometimes funny, sometimes less so, but the true caricature is of the soul, precisely removing the mask, this is why I say that the caricature is the completed journey of the portrait...

Mauro Corona, oil and acrylics on cardboard, a little anecdote…
But is the caricature physical or physiognomic?
In this caricature made by Mauro Corona the two things are fused together...
