THE ARTWORK
In Giuseppe Santomaso’s Maglia interrotta, a fine network occupies a rectangle centred on the sheet. A denser black mark interrupts the rhythm in the lower part, introducing a clear variation within an apparently continuous surface.
The etching and aquatint invites attention to the difference between repetition and rupture. From afar the overall field prevails; close up, its small constituent marks and their irregularities emerge. The title accompanies this experience, indicating a continuity crossed by a pause. The broad light margin focuses attention and makes every change more perceptible.
