"White Cretto" is a 1975 work by Italian artist Alberto Burri. Known for his innovative use of materials, Burri often employed found objects and industrial materials in his art. The piece is a stark and minimalist composition, consisting of a white surface, cracked and broken, resembling the parched earth. This work is a prime example of Burri's "Cretto" series, which explores themes of destruction, decay, and the passage of time.
