Piero Manai

Bologna, Italy, 1951-1988

---

"It is an inner work: an anatomical and psychic construction. To paint a figure, to skin it three times, to put it to the test; it is a challenge, a great effort to reach a threshold... to grasp the sense of mystery of being, always more in the forms that are about to be, or will be."
