Description from the seller
Textured screen print by master artist Giorgio Celiberti (1929). Including the frame, the screen print measures 57 x 43 cm and is numbered XIX/XXX, with the blind stamp “Edizioni Bora.” The artist’s pencil signature appears at the lower right.
An essential element for understanding this work is Celiberti’s visit, in 1965, to the Terezín concentration camp. The graffiti left by the imprisoned children, including hearts, letters, and butterflies, had a profound impact on his artistic practice.
In light of this experience, the hearts visible in the work take on a meaning that goes beyond the purely sentimental: they become symbols of innocence, testimony, suffering, and hope.
The painted surface thus appears as a wall of memory, on which time has left wounds, but has not entirely erased life.
