THE ARTWORK
In Bruno Caruso’s Due pesi, due misure, a small group of rounded forms occupies the centre of the sheet. Differences in size and chiaroscuro create a compact presence, made more apparent by the broad light space surrounding it.
The title invites comparison, yet the image remains open, resting chiefly on the relationships between volumes. The etching makes minute transitions of light and shadow perceptible, alternating dense areas and lighter surfaces. The eye is thus led to measure similarities, differences and distances.
