Problemi di unificazione per uguaglianza cromatica 1973

Mario Ballocco made this artwork, Problemi di unificazione per uguaglianza cromatica, which translates to "Unification Problems for Chromatic Equality", with an unknown medium. Here we can see the artist's focus on color theory, exploring the way colors interact and create harmony, and how it speaks to the broader cultural context of post-war Italy. The division of the canvas into distinct sections may reflect the fragmented nature of Italian society at the time. To fully appreciate Ballocco's work, it would be valuable to research the archives of art schools and artist manifestos from this period. Understanding the socio-political and economic conditions that influenced Ballocco and his contemporaries, can help us grasp the full meaning of this seemingly simple abstract composition.
