"I painted... I painted with everything, on everything that I found.  Anything could be a material for me - cardboard, plywood, compressed wood etc...[.] For colour I took earth, turf, ground marble, coal, dust, ash, sawdust, lime, cement - anything I could lay my hands on."
(Giuseppe Uncini quoted in Exhibition Catalogue, Städtische Kunsthalle Mannheim, Giuseppe Uncini, Raum aus Fläche und Struktur, Bergamo 2001, p. 31)
