NOTE:
The inscription ‘Questa pittura è ariana’, etched in linseed oil on wooden panel with a gesso base. Using a similar technique to the Esodo panels (inv. 392), it conceptually anticipated the ‘Aryan’ paintings and objects that Mauri presented at the ‘Arierwiege’ exhibition-installation in 1995 (inv. 1023).
