"Mediterranean light" is the title of a lithograph by Robert Motherwell; an important painter for Piccinelli.
It is also a reference to his Italian origins (a fairly well-known Renaissance painter is named Andrea Piccinelli) and to the colors of Matisse.
The geometric structures evoke the architecture very present around the Mediterranean Sea; the traces and their transparent textures evoke the aquatic element.Unlike the American artists of his time who for the most part practiced all-over; Motherwell integrated the void as a structuring element of his compositions as shown in the screen print with added collage dated 1964 Untitled from X + Works by Ten Painters) in which the space left blank becomes; by subtraction; the main figure of the work. For his Lyric Suite series begun in 1965; he still uses ink on paper but practices it in another way. (Orianne Castel: Art Critique)
