Donald Kuspit is an American art critic and poet whose work delves deeply into the psychological and philosophical dimensions of art. His critical approach often examines how artworks reflect and influence the human psyche, seeking expressions of the unconscious and existential angst. Kuspit's style is analytical and penetrating, aiming to uncover hidden meanings and creators' motivations. His influence extends far beyond art criticism, shaping the understanding of modern and postmodern art.

Die Last der Geschichte in der zeitgenössischen Kunst
En quarante ans de carrière, il m’a souvent été donné l’occasion de soutenir des expositions, mais jamais je n’avais su trouver autant de liens qui peuvent unir un artiste et un lieu à notre maison. Des origines italiennes à sa vie parisienne, l’artiste est comme Zilli, bercé entre deux cultures qui ont façonné l’histoire de l’art. Du passé glorieux des Médicis, Lyon en a gardé une trace indéfectible, par le mariage de Henri IV à Marie de Médicis ; Lyon, berceau de Zilli. Je suis très fier d’apporter mon soutien à la rétrospective des étapes essentielles de la carrière de Beatrice Caraccciolo, et c’est aussi un hommage que je rends aux femmes italiennes qui ont guidé mes pas, ma mère et mon épouse Roberta.
