| book description |

A vividly illustrated catalogue accompanying legendary painter Giorgio Griffaâ€™s first museum exhibition in the United States Â Giorgio Griffa (b. 1936) has been a vital figure in Italian art for more than half a century. In a signature palette of pastel colors, the artist records lines, letters, and numbers with acrylic paint on unstretched, unprimed canvas. At once methodical and lyrical, his painting tests the capacities of his materials and the limits of representation. In 2026, coinciding with the artistâ€™s 90th birthday, the Clark Art Institute presents his first solo museum exhibition in the United States. Â Griffaâ€™s references range from poetry and mathematics to music, but he has consistently turned to the natural world, and trees in particular, to articulate his interest in relationality, materiality, difference, and growth. As he explains of his various bodies of work: â€œThere is no progress in my cycles. They are different paths in the same forest.â€ Giorgio Griffa: Paths in the Forest presents a selection from almost sixty years of the artistâ€™s work, with some paintings published for the first time. Scholarly essays offer context on different aspects of Griffaâ€™s career and are accompanied by an original text by the artist.
