Catalogue Note
"Due pareti grige, le case alla foce del rio preparano per qualità intrinseca la meraviglia dell'immanenza del cobalto marino. Bisogna pesarli, i colori, come ha fatto Cézanne, che teneva in piedi un intero quadro sol peso di una lastra di mare, portandola in sù, molto in sù. Altrimenti cos'è il mare e perché è quello di Manarola?" (Renato Birolli, Manarola 1955)
