MATTOTTI LORENZO "AT THE END OF THE NIGHT." pastel on paper,. 22x30 cm. Illustration for the 2006 Tricromia book by Lorenzo Mattotti.A man, a bed, a dive into the night. In what dreams has he been shipwrecked? What dreams did he live in that plain, in that sea, in that color?At the end of the night a man, as he was tying his shoes, with his back bent, had the feeling that, behind him, the bed on which he was sitting had widened, enlarged. That it had become enormous: a plain, a sea, a color; a vast surface capable of enclosing the whole night he had just spent, with all the dreams, nightmares and mysteries.
