Etching with carborundum. Roma (1991) by Enzo Cucchi is a monumental etching with carborundum that fuses the mythic and the historical in a surreal tableau. A large, spectral animal skeleton—possibly a tiger or another large feline—arches across a shadowy Roman skyline, its ribs and spine rendered with dramatic texture. Iconic landmarks like the Colosseum and domes of Roman architecture are outlined in luminous gold, while a crescent moon appears lodged in the beast’s ribcage, heightening the dreamlike quality. The use of carborundum adds rich physical depth, aligning with Cucchi’s characteristic blend of symbolism, expressionism, and mystery. Produced in an edition of 60 with 9 artist's proofs, the work evokes both the grandeur and decay of Rome.

What is Transvanguardia ?
Transavanguardia is the Italian version of Neo-Expressionism, referring to an art movement that emerged in Italy and other parts of Western Europe during the 1970s and 1980s. The term translates to beyond the avant-garde. Transavanguardia arose as a reaction against the dominance of conceptual art, reintroducing emotion and reviving painting as a primary medium. The movement marked a return to mythic imagery and figurative art, celebrating a rediscovery of traditional forms and themes in a contemporary context.
