Mario Abis (1924-2004) Abstract Etching. Unique Print.

A superb original work by Mario Abis, a contemporary Italian artist renowned for his work in printmaking and abstraction. “Prova Unica” (unique proof), this powerful and textured composition combines deep blacks with olive green tones, in an atmosphere that is both mineral and vegetal. The artist plays here on the contrasts of material and light, in an aesthetic specific to the Italian lyrical abstraction of the 1960s and 70s.
