Alighiero Boetti

Senza Titolo (Correre e discorrere)

1985

A playful grid of hand-drawn figures in motion fills the composition, rendered in graphite and assembled through paper collage on card. Boetti's characteristic interest in systems, repetition, and language is evident in the work's title, *Correre e discorrere* — "to run and to discourse" — suggesting a poetic link between physical movement and the flow of conversation. The piece reflects the artist's ongoing exploration of duality and wordplay, inviting the viewer to find rhythm and meaning within its structured yet animated arrangement.
