NOTE:
An abstract landscape of yellow-green hues, partially executed in watercolour pastels, painted on the underside of black cardboard with rounded edges. In the centre of the composition, a large white drop and the word ‘SORRY’ appear to be about to fall onto the drawing. For greater insight into the concept of ‘schermo’ in Mauri’s work, see the introductory essays.
