EXHIBIT
Germany’s Osthaus Museum Hagen will present a retrospective of American actors and filmmakers Sylvester Stallone’sOn the occasion of his 75th Birthday, he shared his decades-long collection of paintings. The showcase includes more than 50 paintings that span more than 50 years, including self-portraits as well as several works that will be made public for the first time.
“That’s what I love about painting, it’s the only true communication you can have,”Stallone said this in a press release to announce the retrospective. “While writing can be manipulated, painting is the fastest and purest translator of the subconscious. When something is going on inside you and you hit the canvas, it’s hard to fake it. The artist on the canvas is number one for me when it comes to conveying his feelings.”
