Mario Schifano, Lost innocences, screen printing, 100x100 cm

Lost innocences: graphic work by the famous representative of the Italian Pop-Art Mario Schifano. The screen-printing represents the antithesis between ancient and modern. Two dinosaurs observe eachother representing the prehistoric era, before the human kind took the windward. Together with them there are two wonderful architectures, characterized by a Renaissance style, representing the infinite progress of the human kind. In Schifano's opinion, however, this progress has brought with itself a general loss of the original innocence on the one hand of men, and on the other of the world before men.
