About the Item

This fine monochrome silkscreen print, made in 1963 by Carmelo Cappello, is a representative example of the artist's abstract research. The deep red background, traversed by dynamic white graphic gestures, reveals a gestural energy that blends rhythm and balance. The work is part of a limited run of 30 copies, of which this is number 26. The use of sign as a plastic element is reflected in Cappello's sculptural poetics, which even on paper manages to convey an extraordinary visual three-dimensionality. Hand-signed by the artist and dated lower rightu2028. Excellent state of preservation. The measurements, without frame, are 70x50cm. u2028 Carmelo Cappello (1912-1996) was one of the leading exponents of postwar Italian abstractionism. Born in Ragusa, he soon moved to Milan, where he attended the Brera Academy. His artistic activity initially developed in the field of sculpture, with an abstract language strongly influenced by Futurism and Spatialist experiments. Cappello participated in numerous editions of the Venice Biennale and the Quadriennale in Rome, distinguishing himself for his constant research into movement, light and form. His works are part of important public and private collections, and his contribution is now considered fundamental to understanding the evolution of abstract art in Italy after World War II.
