THE ARTWORK
In this lithograph by Claudio Parmiggiani, a dark line runs irregularly across the light sheet. The outline approaches the margins and changes direction, leaving a broad empty space where the eye can linger without encountering a dominant centre.
The work belongs to the 1968 portfolio 7 tavole temporali. The mark may suggest a boundary, a profile or a trace, but imposes no single identification. The image’s strength arises from the relationship between minimal presence and open surface: an essential intervention is enough to change the perception of the entire sheet.
