// 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 Lettrism?
Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
