Short Review
This work by Lucio Del Pezzo belongs to the period before that of Pop Art and is full of symbolism. The work is separated into two parts, inferiorly the earthly part is represented and above the divine part which is of an almost blue light blue. In the earthly part there is a painting with saints and therefore synonymous of religiosity; from this is raised, immersed in the divine part, a monsoory that inside bears a painting. From this painting starts a beam that centers a target, placed on an easel, which is the painting that therefore carries something divine but that feeds on human knowledge as it suggests the fact that a leg of the easel ends, in an arrow way, in an underlying well that is the well of life.
