Mario Salmaso was a student and assistant to two key figures of 20th-century Italy: maestro Virgilio Guidi and maestro Giuseppe Santomaso.

The work is an excellent example of post-war Italian art and the experimental technique of Polimateria (Mixed Media/Material). The layered, three-dimensional composition features three circular silhouettes that act as "windows" onto two worlds: an abstract lunar landscape and an embrace between two figures. This contrasting material reflects the conceptual dialogue between human civilization and the future.

Condition: The work is in excellent vintage condition, consistent with its age of over 50 years.

There are slight, natural signs of aging on the gilded frame and protective surface.

The internal structure and the polymateria composition are intact and stable.
