THE ARTWORK
In this lithograph from Bruno Cassinari’s Leggenda indiana portfolio, three female figures stand side by side against a blue background. Yellow, pink and green distinguish the presences, while dark contours connect faces, bodies and gestures, maintaining a unified rhythm.
The 1974 work constructs the scene through the interplay of figures and the colour surrounding them. Frontality focuses attention on gazes and differences in profile. The title opens a narrative dimension, yet the image retains its autonomy, resting on the bodies’ proximity and the intensity of colour juxtapositions.
