THE ARTWORK
In this 1967 linocut by Mino Maccari, a group of figures gathers within a field crossed by blue marks. Pinkish presences draw close and overlap, creating an animated scene in which gestures and profiles remain deliberately irregular.
The line retains an incisive freedom, alternating clear contours and small interventions that make the background fluid. The eye can dwell on a face or follow the relationship between figures. The composition preserves an open narrative character, sustained by the drawing’s energy and the tension of juxtapositions.
