The measures, the sun, 1993.
Etching with retouched silver leaf.
Plate 29 x 12 cm; sheet 38 x 21 cm. Colombe paper. Edition 100 + 15. Printer G. Serafini - Pesaro.
Walter Valentini (Pergola, October 22, 1928 – Milan, May 20, 2022) was an Italian painter, sculptor and engraver, internationally recognized in the field of graphics and engraving.
Valentini’s geometric imagery bears the influences of the Russian avant-gardes of the twentieth century (Constructivism) and, marginally, the architectures painted by de Chirico in the metaphysical period, but it is mainly grounded in the sense of harmony and proportion studied by Italian artists of the Quattrocento: De pictura, De re aedificatoria, De statua di Leon Battista Alberti, De prospectiva pingendi by Piero della Francesca and De divina proportione by Luca Pacioli are treatises on perspective and the golden ratio that will guide Valentini’s entire exploration of space, form, and their balance.
