Description of the work: "Grammature di colore" (1976) is a fundamental example of the famous cycle of the same name by Elio Marchegiani.

The artist explores the relationship between painting, material, and form, elevating plaster to a conceptual centerpiece. The surface is rigorously divided into 17 chromatic areas, defined as "grammature," which give the work a distinct tactile and spatial dimension. This work perfectly embodies Marchegiani's interest in the synthesis of conceptual rigor and material sensuality.
