THE ARTWORK
In Le due generazioni, Karl Plattner juxtaposes dark figures and light presences on a bench, with a pink accent below. Poses and tonal differences measure relationships between characters.
The lithograph constructs the scene through broad planes and essential contours. The title suggests comparison but leaves the bond’s nature open. The eye observes proximities, distances and gestures in an intimate, silent atmosphere.
