Non Finito 1970

This is "Non Finito" by Giorgio Griffa, made with watercolor on canvas. Look at those soft pink dashes. Imagine Griffa, maybe in his studio, carefully making each mark, one after the other. It’s like a meditative process, a rhythmic dance between the brush, the paint, and the canvas. The title "Non Finito," or "unfinished," hints at something deeper, something about the nature of painting itself. Is a painting ever really finished? I think about Agnes Martin and her grids, or even Sol LeWitt's instructions for wall drawings. There's a sense of openness here, an invitation for the viewer to complete the work in their own mind. These marks feel so delicate, yet so intentional. Each one is a small gesture, but together they create a field of energy. Griffa is in conversation with so many artists, sharing ideas, pushing boundaries. It reminds me that painting is an ongoing experiment, a continuous exploration of what it means to see and to feel.
