Hand-signed, numbered, and dated. Untitled (Chromatic Ribbons) (1971) by Piero Dorazio is a vibrant etching that exemplifies the Italian artist’s signature style of rhythmic abstraction and chromatic harmony. The composition is dominated by a series of interweaving bands in bold, saturated colors—red, yellow, blue, green, and violet—arranged in a dynamic, almost musical pattern. Each band contains internal textures and tonal variations, suggesting movement and depth within the two-dimensional plane. Dorazio, a key figure in European postwar abstraction, was influenced by both American color field painting and Italian Futurism, and this piece reflects those inspirations in its energetic interplay of color and form. The overlapping arcs and transparent layering convey a sense of optical vibration and fluidity, reinforcing the artist’s interest in light, rhythm, and the visual experience. Hand-signed, dated, and numbered in an edition of 65, this print captures Dorazio’s unique ability to evoke movement and emotion through purely abstract means.

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.
