Guiseppe Capogrossi
Opale n. 3, 1972
56 x 76 cmOriginal lithograph on paperOpale n. 3 (1972) by Giuseppe Capogrossi is an original lithograph showcasing the artist’s signature abstract style. Featuring earthy brown and deep purple tones, the composition is defined by bold, textured symbols arranged in a rhythmic, grid-like pattern. These repetitive, calligraphic signs, a hallmark of Capogrossi’s work, convey themes of universality and communication through abstraction. A leading figure in post-war Italian art and a member of the *Forma 1* group, Capogrossi (1900–1972) sought to merge abstraction with structured form. By the 1950s, his work gained international recognition with exhibitions across Europe and the United States. Created in the final year of his life, *Opale n. 3* reflects Capogrossi’s mature style and his lasting influence on contemporary abstract art.
