Piero Dorazio

Reticolo

1964

A vibrant web of intersecting lines in rich, jewel-toned hues forms a luminous grid across the picture plane, reflecting Dorazio's deep engagement with color theory and optical sensation. Executed in tempera on paper laid on burlap, the work balances the delicacy of the painted surface with the rough, tactile quality of the underlying textile support. *Reticolo* exemplifies the artist's lifelong exploration of light, rhythm, and chromatic harmony through a disciplined yet expressive geometric vocabulary.
