"Can we achieve the magic of reflecting on the 'law of the future' through works of art, and vice versa? The answer is yes – when experience and skill converge with creativity and luck. Compliance and privacy, principles of law and secrets of the legal profession, innovation, and technology blend with the colours on canvasses, the shapes of sculptures, the notes of musical compositions and instruments, and the verses of poems and songs. Following on from The Art of Privacy, this new book by Luca Bolognini explores the rules of the law from a perspective never seen before: the legal landscape morphs into masterpieces by Klimt, Tintoretto, Kandinsky, and so on. Perusing this collection of 53 reflections – written one at a time, each week over the course of a year – gives the reader a feeling of being fortunate: metaphors and associations of ideas are etched onto the page with the same rush of joy as capturing a dream upon waking, before it slips away. A good read, for a beautiful imagination."Passi di: Luca Bolognini. "Painted Privacy". Apple Books.
