Tempera and watercolor on paper on canvas. // Reticolo is a luminous work by Piero Dorazio from 1963, executed in tempera and watercolor on paper mounted on canvas. The composition presents an allover network of short, rhythmic green brushstrokes that interweave to form a vibrant lattice pattern, with glimpses of underlying blue and yellow peeking through the verdant mesh. This work belongs to Dorazio’s pivotal period when the Italian artist was developing his distinctive approach to color abstraction through interlocking woven structures of pure hue. The systematic yet organic quality of the brushwork creates a shimmering, textile-like surface that vibrates with optical energy, exemplifying Dorazio’s crucial contribution to European post-war abstract painting and his influence on subsequent generations of color-oriented artists.

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.
