Peso, 1982

Francesco Clemente created this edition using heavy lithographic stone plates, alluding to their physical weight in the title. Beyond that, Peso invites a metaphorical interpretation, understanding weight not only as a material property but also as an expression of psychological burden in the depiction of body fragments and their functions. The upper, smaller stone was printed frontally in red, while the two lower elements were worked on from the reverse, allowing the red to subtly shine through, creating a multi-layered sense of depth.
