THE ARTWORK
An oval field holds multicoloured diagonals in Piero Dorazio’s Effetti. Their shared direction unifies the composition, while tonal changes introduce accelerations and pauses.
Aquatint preserves vibrating traces, preventing bands from becoming static surfaces. The curved edge limits movement without stopping it: the eye can follow one diagonal or read the whole as luminous interweaving built from neighbouring colours.
