About the Item

Moon on the Casbah is an original collage artwork applied on cardboard realized by Sergio Barletta in 1983. Hand-signed on the lower right, on the lower center the title "Moon on the Casbah" and dated on the lower left. The state of preservation is good except for some diffused foxing along the whitish frame margins. The artwork represents a landscape of casbah with the college, attached a breast of a woman on the cupola, a conceptual and satiric artwork of the artist which is one of his subjective artworks, that leads to layers of interpretations. The artist's efforts indicate the perfect applying of aesthetic features and visual codes of the XX century.
