Hand-signed at the back. Dinamica Circolare Ellisse Prospettico by Marina Apollonio is an optical relief in wood, conceived in 1969 and realized in 2025. The elliptical form compresses a sequence of black-and-white concentric bands into a perspectival field that appears to recede and expand simultaneously. Unlike the frontal symmetry of her circular works, the elongated ellipse introduces directional tension, intensifying the illusion of depth and rotation. The surface seems to pulse as the viewer shifts position, activating perception through precise geometry and rhythmic contrast. Rooted in Italian Op Art and perceptual research, the work prioritizes sensory experience over representation. Measuring 50.6 × 25.6 cm, produced in an edition of 20, and hand-signed on the reverse, it exemplifies Apollonio’s sustained exploration of visual dynamics across decades.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
