Giulio Paolini Senza titolo (Untitled), 2015

The silhouette of the young woman's face by Pollaiolo is inscribed in the image of an ancient sailing ship in navigation. Her profile, turned to the left, seems to steer the course towards an unknown destination.

"Through the laceration I break the regularity of the image or the margins of the white sheet, but I always try to draw a contour that either contrasts or follows in part that of the image or of the starting surface." —Giulio Paolini
