Tricolore
1973
A vibrant composition by Italian artist Salvo, *Tricolore* presents the three colors of the Italian flag rendered in oil on free canvas, where the unstructured support allows the material itself to become part of the work. The painting balances national symbolism with a minimalist sensibility, reflecting Salvo's interest in distilling imagery to its most essential elements. The fluidity of the unprimed, unstretched canvas adds a subtle tension between the rigidity of patriotic iconography and the organic nature of the painted surface.
