Etching, Aquatint, collage with gold leaf - Published by Galerie Klüser & Edition Schellmann - Signed and numbered on recto - Plate size: 47 X 66 cm. - Sheet size: 60 X 80 cm. // Francesco Clemente's Reconciliazione is a limited edition mixed media print created in 1986, combining etching, aquatint, and collage with gold leaf. The composition features a large human figure, crouched in a fetal-like position against a rich, deep blue background. The figure is outlined with intricate details, filled with abstract and symbolic imagery within the body, while small areas of gold leaf punctuate the composition, adding an ethereal quality. The use of gold leaf contrasts against the dark tones, symbolizing moments of enlightenment or spiritual significance. This piece reflects Clemente's exploration of inner reflection, human vulnerability, and the complexity of reconciliation, both personal and universal.

What is automatism?
Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
