{"product_id":"60-yards-of-people-and-things","title":"60 Yards of People and Things","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout his long career, \u003cstrong\u003eLucio Pozzi\u003c\/strong\u003e has dealt with numerous artistic practices and created works of varying sizes. The \u003cstrong\u003e400 pages\u003c\/strong\u003e of this volume focus on and document the Crowd Groups: immense canvases or, alternatively, large sheets of white paper that, in both cases, were \u003cstrong\u003efilled from hem to hem with dense brush strokes using only black paint\u003c\/strong\u003e. The images in the book are hundreds of details of these immense works taken both up close and from a distance, and thus with different levels of detail, simulating the gaze of an observer walking from one canvas to another. The works in their entirety can be found in the final pages of the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a series of works created in the winter between 2001 and 2002, during a night when he was devoting himself, by then exhausted, to the Rag Rugs, \u003cem\u003e‘a kind of mosaic of thick oil paint aligned in narrow parallel strips’\u003c\/em\u003e. With these words Lucio Pozzi recounts how, during an intense night's work, he suddenly switched from one technique to the other: \u003cem\u003e‘I saw on a Rag Rug a large horizontal canvas that had been stretched for an unsuccessful company commission. Out of a survival instinct I hung it on the wall and threw myself into doing the exact opposite of the Rag Rugs. Retaining from them the factor of filling the canvas from side to side (all-over composition), I chose a paintbrush, and instead of coloured geometries I started inventing even banal iconic formations and instead of using colours I worked only in black on the white background of the surface’\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"corraini-shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53629473227082,"sku":"9791254931455","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/8652\/3978\/files\/poz_60_yards_of_people_and_things_cover_sito.jpg?v=1768327601","url":"https:\/\/corraini.com\/en\/products\/60-yards-of-people-and-things","provider":"corraini-shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
