The author's notes
In one of his most beautiful books, the historian Daniel Arasse wrote that detail plays the role of a double device in paintings: « device of the representation process adopted by the painter and device of the perception process compromised by the viewer». Valerio Adami (Bolone, 1935) one of the main figures of the art of our times, invites us to run through some of his paintings illustrating this link between work and detail, which allows us to appreciate one of the main aspects of painting: the aesthetical space upon which style is inscribed.
