"In Mastrovito's analysis Guernica is the highest moment, but perhaps also the last, of the civil conscience of the artist, inherited from Goya, Gericault, from our Pelizza, a work whose appearance explicitly indicated the possibility for an intellectual to speak his mind about the world, even opposing it.
From Picasso's masterpiece Mastrovito extracts silhouettes of images, removing the color, concentrating on the contrasts -white/black, light/dark- of a milestone of art history, but also a workfirmly anchored in History itself."
