"Cretto Grande Bianco" (1982) by Italian artist Alberto Burri (1915-1995) is an example of his signature "Cretto" series, characterized by textured surfaces created using materials like burlap, cement, and resin. The work's large scale and minimalist aesthetic, with its abstract pattern of white cracks resembling a cracked surface, evokes themes of destruction and fragility. Burri's works often explore the aftermath of World War II, drawing inspiration from the destruction and the subsequent rebuilding process.
