Beautiful work, original lithograph by the Master Valerio Adami (Bologna, 17 March 1935), with the artist's handwritten signature.

In this graphic work, Valério Adami shows his interpretation of the 1876 poem "L'après midi d'un faune" by Stéphane Mallarmé.

The combinatorial practice of signs and formal elements, the visual vocabulary that Adami has adopted in his "closed form system", fits perfectly with the statement "the drawing looks like a freshly shuffled deck of cards that will recover its order in the rules of the game".

In every drawing, in every painting it is as if Adami reproposes the recomposition of the fragments of an original unity that was lost.
