THE ARTWORK
In this lithograph by Felicita Frai, two female presences emerge among irises and slender stems. The hat with pale and red bands introduces a stronger accent, while the pinkish ground leaves the scene suspended in soft light. The flowers accompany the vertical development of the image.
The figures are not separate from their surroundings: they share the vegetation’s light rhythm of lines and tonal gradations. The colours echo one another without becoming uniform, alternating delicate areas with small contrasts. The whole retains an intimate, imaginative character, open to a reading that is more evocative than narrative.
