THE ARTWORK
A short sequence of vertical bands occupies the centre of Elio Marchegiani’s Grammature di colore. Tonal differences are restrained, and broad open space reveals each variation.
The etching invites colour to be observed through intervals, quantities and proximities. It forgoes a recognisable subject to focus on precise relationships. Its presence arises from measure rather than the etched field’s extent.
