The Paintings of Martin Berkovitz - The Commedia series updates the spirit of the Italian/French commedia del arte theatre.

Previous Works / Commedia


The Commedia pictures update the seventeenth and eighteenth century tradition of the Italian-French Commedia del Arte theater. They are about fun, humor and just the joy of being alive. And sometimes too, the bittersweet transience of life.
