Mario Giacomelli (Senigallia 1925-2000), "Poesia". 1988. Original photograph printed on Kodak paper. Signed on the recto bottom right and on the back. Titled and dated by the author. Stamp. In excellent condition.

Although Mario Giacomelli is universally celebrated for his strict and graphic black-and-white, from the 1960s to the late 1980s he carried out an extraordinary and intimate experimentation with color abstract photography. In this body of work, the author entirely detaches from realistic and naturalistic description: color becomes pure matter, gesture and an almost painterly surface, directly engaging with the currents of Informal Art and with the work of artists close to him, such as Alberto Burri.
