Screen-drawing consisting of a black frame painted along the edges of a sheet of ‘silk paper’, of the same type used for the Entartete Kunst lettering (inv. 360). The words ‘THE END’ are rendered in the centre in the same design as the one the artist used for objects in the ‘Ebrea’ exhibition-installation (for example, inv. 325). For greater insight into the concept of ‘schermo’ in Mauri’s work, see the introductory essays.
