The Peace 1985

Lucio Pozzi made "The Peace" in 1985, and it's got that beautiful watercolor vibe, loose and free. It’s like he's not trying too hard, you know? The colors are super interesting – that muddied, earthy palette with unexpected pops. Look at the way the paint sits on the paper; you can almost feel the wateriness of it, thin in some spots, pooling in others. There’s this one gesture, a quick flick of the brush that suggests a blade of grass. It’s a tiny detail, but it speaks to the whole piece – immediate and alive. It makes you think about how much can be said with just a little mark, like a visual shorthand. Pozzi reminds me a bit of Philip Guston, both playing with figuration in ways that are playful, ambiguous, and emotionally resonant. Art's not about answers, right? It's more about keeping the conversation going.
