Last Quarter 1961

"Last Quartile" is a 1961 work by Italian artist Ezio Martinelli (1913-1980), featuring a delicate, elongated shape rendered in subtle shades of white on a light cream background. The piece, likely created through a unique printing technique, evokes a sense of both fragility and strength, mirroring the visual vocabulary often found in Minimalist art. While seemingly simple in its form, "Last Quartile" is an abstract exploration of shape, texture, and light, inviting the viewer to engage with the artwork's subtle nuances.
