Scope and Contents

This 49th new series collage page of the Dante Diary is titled "Dante Sings Again." Several reviews, collaged onto this page mention the PeterGreenaway/Tom Phillips' A TV Dante as a "significant...autonomous art production." A newspaper lists the showing of A TV Dante and describes it as follows: " Six hundred years ago the great Italian poet Dante wrote of his imaginary visit to the underworld and produced a vivid list of the vices and crimes of his age, which scarcely needs changing today. Film-maker Peter Greenaway and painter Tom Phillips have collaborated on a modern version of 'The Inferno', using the latest developments in computer graphics, film and video techniques. In this first episode (Canto 5 of 34) Dante, guided by Virgil, enters the second circle in the descending spiral of Hell." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
