THE ARTWORK
A pinkish horse crosses a light landscape in this etching and aquatint by Aligi Sassu from the Manuscriptum portfolio. Yellows, greens and light blues accompany the figure, keeping the drawing light and open.
The animal’s movement connects to the terrain’s curves and sky bands. The eye can follow the body or surrounding colour transitions, reading a scene where the subject’s strength coexists with surface delicacy.
