‘Second-generation’ Schermo (Screen) composed of a semi-transparent canvas stretched over a shaped, projecting wooden frame. In the upper part, the work has a black-painted wooden background that, veiled by the canvas, adds darker colouration to the Schermo. For greater insight into the concept of ‘schermo’ in Mauri’s work, see the introductory essays.
