THE ARTWORK
In Bruno Munari’s Curve di Peano, black, grey, white and yellow modules interlock in a continuous network. Each element seems to continue into its neighbour, creating paths across the square that make a single starting point difficult to establish.
The 1971 screenprint combines structural rigour and perceptual liveliness. Colour changes the hierarchy of forms: what appears as background can become figure, while the design shifts with the direction followed by the eye. The image invites exploration of an order capable of producing variations, surprises and movement without abandoning its own rule.
