This analytic print belongs to the series Grammature di colore realized by the artist during the 1970s.
The artwork is a meditation on the fundamental elements of art and is composed by the graduation of different grey tones (in a square shapes). Art is an exact science that has been lucky enough not to be, the Italian master Elio Marchegiani usually says about.
The "Grammature di colore" is an abstract geometric synthesis of the Italian fresco, which remains a constant research reference. A "Grammatura di colore" is currently on display in the Italian Contemporary Art Collection at the Farnesina (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rome); two Grammature of color (on plaster and on blackboard) are exhibited at the GNAM in Rome, in the hall of the '900, and again at the' Museo del 900 'and at the' Cantiere del '900' Gallerie d'Italia in Milan.
