Reticolo frangibile 1970

"Reticolo frangibile" (1970) by Italian artist Grazia Varisco is a prime example of geometric abstraction, utilizing a grid of small squares in white, red, and black. Varisco's interest in the interplay of lines and shapes is evident in this work, creating a visual tension between the rigid structure of the grid and the dynamic, almost fragmented lines that intersect it. The work's title, which translates to "fragile grid," further emphasizes this theme of delicate equilibrium and the interplay between order and chaos.
