Specialist note

In these six works Enzo Cucchi deals with several of his central concerns, including the relationship between nature, humanity, and technology. He does this in a playful way with these sketches, several of which position twinned figures of babies set in abstract, nocturnal landscapes, while other works depict birds, and people in distress amidst threatening surroundings.
