Catalogue Note
"Never has the 'global landscape' been so vast or so open to the inclusion of new elements. Nor has the dialectic space belonging to art and to Mankind managed to coincide with the ambit of the landscape in its totality. In both senses, we are now living in an extraordinary era, demanding and hardened. Giovanni Anselmo was aware of these facts thirty years ago, over and above what was evident then, hence facts his work still retains the freshness it displayed at the outset." (Gloria Moure cited in: Exhibition catalogue, Santiago de Compostela, Centro Galego de Arte Contemporaneo, Giovanni Anselmo, 1995, p. 17)
