THE ARTWORK
In this lithograph by Bruno Caruso, a light female profile stands against a pink background. Blond hair develops in delicate curves, while a group of green strands below introduces a second rhythm and connects the figure to a vegetal presence.
The vertical composition alternates precise features with freer marks in the hair and grass. Colour remains restrained, making the relationship between face and surrounding space clear. The eye follows the profile’s direction, then returns to the fine lines crossing and animating the surface.
