Quote from Parkett
“The present moment and far-reaching memories. Naked exposure and sheltered safety. Enzo Cucchi conjures up opposing forces from the depths of human emotions with such artistic power that his painting becomes itself the wave, the fire, the earth, the living objects it represents. ‘Bisogna togliere I grandi dipinti dal paesaggio.’”
Bice Curiger, Parkett No. 1, 1984

The poem by Enzo Cucchi, published alongside his edition in Parkett no. 1, 1983, translated in English

Elegy
The smoke of Rome
wanders on
the legs of an ancient beast.
Our thousand year old
skeletons move along
noisily.
New York will hear us;
will see yet other dinosaurs
pushing their way on roof-tops?!
In the houses of Rome
one continues to breathe.
