AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This aquaforte by Alberto Burri belongs to his essential exploration of form, matter, and sign. The composition, reduced to a few rigorous graphic elements, highlights an internally studied and controlled structure, in which the line becomes a tool for spatial and conceptual investigation.
The mark, clear and measured, builds a form that recalls an idea of design and inner tension, typical of Burri's poetics, always oriented toward synthesis and subtraction. The calibrated use of black, contrasted with the lightness of the pencil stroke, creates a visual balance of great silent strength.
The work is dedicated and unique, an element that significantly enhances its historical and collecting value. It is an intimate and rare piece, capable of immediately conveying the artist's thinking and his deep relationship with form and the creative process.
