THE ARTWORK
A female figure rises at the centre of Mario Tozzi’s Fanciulla al mare, accompanied by a warm halo and light blue geometric elements. A few contours define the body in a frontal, restrained pose.
The lithograph suggests place through colour relationships and small references, leaving ample light background. The sea evoked by the title becomes an atmosphere, while circles and triangles introduce an abstract measure around the figure.
