NOTE:
Screen-drawing characterised by a black frame painted around the edges of a sheet of paper, defining a pink ‘field for projection’ which, in turn, frames a screen-drawing painted using mixed-media with, in the centre and circled, the initials ‘FM’ and the word ‘Fine’ (The End). For greater insight into the concept of ‘schermo’ in Mauri’s work, see the introductory essays.
