Opale n. 1 (1972) by Giuseppe Capogrossi is an original lithograph that highlights the artist’s distinctive abstract language. The composition features bold, organic symbols arranged in a rhythmic and structured manner, reflecting his exploration of universal communication through abstraction. An earthy color palette adds depth and harmony, balancing movement with stillness. Capogrossi (1900–1972), a key figure in post-war Italian abstraction and a member of the Forma 1 group, developed his signature “signs” in the 1950s—recurring abstract forms that became central to his visual language. Opale n. 1 exemplifies Capogrossi’s mature style, showcasing his commitment to abstraction as a tool for conceptual and visual expression, solidifying his legacy in contemporary abstract art.
