Peter J. Dellolio articles on Democracy Chronicles

Peter Delliolo has contributed to DC both as a writer and political artist since 2014. You can see his artwork at Peter Delliolo Fine Art. Born in New York City in 1956, Peter went to Nazareth High School and New York University. He graduated in 1978 with a B.A. in Cinema Studies and B.F.A. in Film Production. Among various short-subject films that he wrote and directed, he adapted James Joyce’s short story Counterparts into a screenplay, which he also directed. The film has been shown at numerous national and international film festivals.

Peter has the versatility to write in both a popular and an academic style. He has written pieces ranging from 250-1000 words on arts and entertainment; current events; fashion; movies; television; and food. Currently, he is working on an exhaustive critical study of the films of Alfred Hitchcock called “Hitchcock’s Cinematic World: Shocks of Perception and the Collapse of the Rational.” Chapter excerpts from this book have appeared in The Midwest Quarterly, Literature/Film Quarterly, and North Dakota Quarterly during ’03-’04. Other chapter excerpts are due to appear in future issues of CineAction, The Journal of Film and Video, Kinema, and Qui Parle.

He has written and published critical essays on art and film, fiction, poetry, and one-act plays. Through the 80’s and 90’s his poetry and fiction has appeared in various literary magazines, including Antenna, Aero-Sun Times, Bogus Review, and Pen-Dec Press. In 1983, a volume of his one-act plays was published by Dramatika Press and one of these plays appeared in the ‘97/’98 issue of Collages & Bricolages. Through 1998, Peter was a contributing editor for NYArts Magazine, writing art and film reviews. He also did several monographs on new artists.

Peter was also the co-publisher and Editor-in-Chief of a prestigious, award-winning art magazine published on the Internet, Artscape2000. He has also taught poetry and art.

On The Coming End Of Roe v. Wade

May 11, 2022 by Peter J. Dellolio Leave a Comment

Anyone who says that the evolution of law has nothing to do with politics is either very corrupt or very stupid. Laws evolved through the centuries.

A Box of Crazy Toys

Is it possible that anything you can conceive, with any combination of words, can, in the fullness of time, manifest itself materially? Some such thought will be prompted by the reading of any of the 100 liquid landscapes in my surreal collection.

Grassy Knoll JFK Anniversary of JFK Assassination

My most ambitious series to date is this 50 work series devoted to 2013’s 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination. I tried to combine familiar media imagery from the weekend of November 22nd 1963 with abstractions of form, to make original statements about this iconic socio-cultural-political event.

Planet Mars: Our Vanished Alter Ego?

October 10, 2014 by Peter J. Dellolio 1 Comment

Mars A Vanished Alter Ego

Perhaps, if Mars had the same beginnings that history has revealed to us on Earth, and that, for a time, it may have been magnificent, that if somehow it lost its way and destroyed itself, hopefully we can take a different path.
