Woodcut in colors on Kozo paper - Signed and numbered - Published / Printed by Crown Point Press, San Francisco / Shi-un-do Print Shop, Kyoto // Francesco Clemente's I (Met.pg., 50) (1982) is a vibrant woodcut on Kozo paper, reflecting the artist's interest in exploring the human face and emotional expression. The portrait features a figure with vividly colored facial accents—red, green, and blue—set against a soft, warm-toned background. The subject's intense gaze and abstracted features draw the viewer in, creating a sense of introspection and emotional complexity. The bold use of color, particularly in the warm yellows surrounding the face, contrasts with the more muted background, emphasizing the figure’s presence. Clemente’s work often focuses on themes of identity and transformation, and this piece exemplifies his exploration of the human psyche through expressive portraiture.

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.
