THE ARTWORK
In Giuseppe Santomaso’s Tav. 5, geometric elements and curving forms intersect in a vertical construction. Blue introduces a decisive accent, while black, grey and warmer tones organise a surface rich in directions and overlaps.
The 1950 lithograph retains a strong energy of visual assembly: each element seems part of an imaginary mechanism without losing its autonomy. The eye follows oblique lines, small circles and contrasts of weight, moving from detail to overall structure. The composition finds continuity in the rhythm of interlocking forms and the tension between order and freedom of line.
