Carton with plexiglass // Inter-Ena Cubo by Paolo Scheggi, created in 1965, is a striking exploration of depth and spatial perception through the use of mixed media. This work combines cardboard and plexiglass, arranged in a grid of sixteen circular cutouts, each half-filled with a contrasting gradient that creates an illusion of three-dimensionality. Scheggi’s use of layered materials invites viewers to engage with the interplay of light and shadow, evoking a sense of movement within the static form. The geometric repetition and muted tones contribute to a minimalist yet dynamic composition, typical of Scheggi’s engagement with spatial concepts during the 1960s. Measuring 41 cm by 41 cm with a depth of 11 cm, this piece exemplifies the artist’s commitment to challenging the boundaries between surface and space.

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.
