// Old World by Jorge Macchi is a limited edition lithograph from 2007, produced in an edition of 50. The artwork presents two overlapping circular forms resembling ancient cartographic maps, labeled “Hemisphere Occident” and “Hemisphere Orient.” The circles are filled with fractured, puzzle-like segments that resemble cracked earth or broken glass, suggesting the fragility and disintegration of what these hemispheres represent. By distorting the classic world map into fragmented sections, Macchi invites viewers to contemplate the fragility of historical and geographical constructs. The subtle, monochromatic palette emphasizes the timeless quality of the image while highlighting the intricate, delicate lines of each fractured segment.

What is new figuration?
Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
