Etching, aquatint, soft paint and drypoint on glossy paper - Signature and number of the specimen in pencil on lower right margin - Embossed stamp on the lower right margin of the editor Franco Masoero, Turin. // Mario Merz's Senza titolo (1991) is a mixed media print that combines etching, aquatint, soft paint, and drypoint techniques on glossy paper. Measuring 21 x 96.5 cm, the work features two pentagonal frames, each containing an abstract representation of a leaf. The delicate red and orange hues of the leaves contrast with the geometric structures of the frames, creating an interplay between organic and constructed forms. Merz’s work often explores themes of nature and geometry, and this untitled piece encapsulates that tension, blending the natural world with human-made structures in a subtle, contemplative composition.

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.
