About

Stephen Max has spent a lifetime following the trail of Antonio Diego Voci—across continents, archives, friendships, and memories. What began as an encounter with a single painting grew into a decades-long commitment to uncovering the stories behind Diego’s art and the people who shaped his world. Max’s work, including five previous books on Diego, blends meticulous research with a deep personal devotion to keeping Diego’s legacy alive.
Reawakening is his most comprehensive and poetic tribute yet, crafted for all who seek to understand the artist behind the signature.
His previous volumes—The Beauty of Diego, The Artist of a Thousand Faces, The Diego Voci Chronicles, Canvas of Dreams, and The Women of Diego—have become foundational references for scholars and collectors.
In Reawakening – Antonio Diego Voci 2025, Max draws together years of scholarship, newly surfaced histories, and personal reflection to reveal the Diego the world never fully knew: passionate, complex and devoted.
