AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent work by Aligi Sassu, part of the prestigious portfolio 'El Gran Espejo', produced for the art print shop 'L'incisione'. This color linocut is titled 'Sappho', offering a vibrant and powerful interpretation of the Greek poetess.
The work, large in scale and visually impactful, measures 80×60 cm on handmade-cut paper. It is an excellent example of Sassu's unmistakable style, characterized by a masterful use of color and by solid, dynamic forms.
The linocut technique enhances contrasts and texture, with chromatic transitions shaded from orange to blue-green that give depth and intensity to the mythological scene.. The artist uses a visual language that interweaves classical references with modern sensibility, creating an image that remains imprinted in the memory.
The artwork was produced in only 55+10 copies. It is signed and numbered in pencil by Maestro Sassu.
The work is also published in a booklet of graphics dedicated to the Maestro.
It will be shipped with the relevant certification and a photocopy of the publication.
