Lot Essay

'La danza del mare, è uno zig-zag di movimenti e di argento e smeraldo in contrasto, ed evoca dentro alla mia plastica sensibilità la visione distante di una ballerina ricoperta di lustrini luccicanti nel suo universo di luce, rumore e suono.

'The sea dancing, it's zig-zag movements and contrasting silver and emerald, evokes within my plastic sensibility the distant vision of a dancer covered in a sparkling sequins in her world of light, noise and sound'.

Gino Severini
