BIANCHI (1956-1958)

In this cycle, the pictorial space is reorganised according to the gradual insertion of white titanium into the canvas, making it open. Each work presents the prevalence of a single colour that no longer identifies a geometric limit but spreads over the entire surface.

“Today, right now, I am looking for the perfect balance, the absolute balance.
[…] If I had presented an entirely white painting I would have had a figure, not a balance. […]”
(Nuvolo, 1963)
