Short Review
This plate, along with the other three published on the site, was part of an exhibition held in Liège, Belgium, at Zaira Mis' "Espace 251" gallery. Originally all the plates were supposed to form a single body, but then, for probable commercial reasons, they were divided by the gallery owner. On the fine white ceramic plates, characters are depicted, one per plate, in magenta surrounded by festoons of various designs. Ontani's disappointment was notable for this dismemberment even if he understood (up to a certain point) the commercial reasons.
