THE ARTWORK
In Lettere, Alberto Burri arranges four fields within a grey structure, alternating red and white. Curved forms, cuts and small shifts alter the grid’s initial regularity.
The screenprint focuses attention on solid areas and openings. Each panel retains its own measure but gains meaning through comparison. The image remains essential and incisive, inviting attention to how a few colours create balance rich in differences.
