Catalogue Note
"Nel 1983 l'artista lavora con vigorose pennellate e copre le tele con un denso impasto ad olio. Invece che essere le immagini a dettare dove deve andare il colore, in questi lavori sembra piuttosto che siano l'applicazione della tinta e la destrezza manuale dell'artista a indicare dove debbano andare le forme, e quindi le immagini."

Enzo Cucchi e Edy de Wilde, direttore dello Stedelijk Museum di Amsterdam dal 1963 al 1985, erano buoni amici. Nel 1983 de Wilde organizzò la prima retrospettiva dedicata a Cucchi in Olanda, intitolata Giulio Cesare Roma. Come direttore dello Stedelijk, de Wilde diede ampio spazio all'arte contemporanea e al design - a quest'ultimo dedicò un'intera sezione del museo - organizzando esposizioni dedicate all'arte americana e ad artisti come de Kooning, Appel e Newman.
