Catalogue Note Après avoir suivi l'abstraction lyrique et biomorphique, Donati en 1950, découvre les propriétés plastiques des fossiles. Naissent alors les séries de Moonscapes et des Sargon où il explore les valeurs expressives et tactiles de la matière. Certaines oeuvres de Donati de cette époque dénotent l'influence de l'expressionnisme abstrait américain et du spatialisme. signed 'Enrico Donati', titled 'La Jetée' and dated '1952' on the back; oil on canvas.
