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 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.
