(sad news from March Bloch - if there is artists I liked maximally and 
unconditionally, that was Carlo Pittore)

Friends,

I am sorry to announce that Carlo Pittore passed away yesterday, July 
17, 2005 at 3:05 pm. I am told he succumbed peacefully, attended by 
loving friends, in his beloved state of Maine on Sunday afternoon to the 
esophageal cancer that he was diagnosed with last year. Carlo, always 
the fighter, far outlived the time that doctors had predicted he would 
have on the planet. He was determined to live life to its fullest as long 
as he could, and this he certainly did. 

He was such a passionate artist. I wrote this  
[http://www.panmodern.com/carlopittore.html] last year when I heard 
about his illness. We then had a tribute for him in October at the 
Bowery Poetry Club in New York to which some of you sent messages. I 
forwarded them to him. He enjoyed watching the video and reading 
and hearing about the messages from his many friends. I now welcome 
other tributes to Carlo as well as suggestions about how we might 
remember him with art.  Send your suggestions and thoughts and 
wishes. I will forward along any information that I get as it comes in- 
back to you and also to his friends and family in Maine and New York 
who will determine what will happen next.

Celebrate Carlo with passion and joy and enthusiasm. I am sure that is 
what he would have liked.

Mark Bloch
