Coni Minneci (b. 1950)

"The Letter, a small Trompe L’oiel painting is in my latest series: “The Bona Fide Bogus Women in Art”. That series in the sequel to my “A to Z: An Historical Survey of Women Artists” Often while lecturing on the real women artists found in my “A to Z” series, no one would have heard of most of my chosen women. I thought to myself: “I could be making these women up!” So I am, the Bogus Women in Art series is a tongue-in-cheek group of paintings highlighting fic-tional women." ( Minneci)
