{"product_id":"white-cretto-alberto-burri","title":"White Cretto - Alberto Burri","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlberto Burri's 'White Cretto' presents a cracked, white surface, evoking themes of destruction and renewal. This abstract expressionist work is part of the artist's 'Cretto' series, inspired by the earthquake-stricken town of Gibellina, Sicily.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlberto Burri (1915-1995) was an Italian artist associated with the Informalism movement. Trained as a physician, Burri began painting while a prisoner of war in Texas during World War II. His experiences profoundly shaped his artistic vision, leading him to explore themes of destruction, healing, and the inherent beauty found in decay. He is best known for his use of unconventional materials, such as burlap sacks, wood, and plastic, which he tore, burned, and stitched together to create tactile and evocative compositions. 'White Cretto' exemplifies Burri's innovative approach to art-making. The work features a network of deep cracks across a white surface, resembling dried earth or cracked plaster. The stark contrast between the white and the dark lines accentuates the texture and depth of the surface. This piece is part of Burri's 'Cretto' series, inspired by the earthquake-stricken town of Gibellina, Sicily. The series reflects on themes of devastation and reconstruction, transforming the cracks of destruction into a form of abstract beauty. The monochromatic palette further emphasises the raw, elemental nature of the work, inviting viewers to contemplate the passage of time and the processes of decay and renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/genesis-i-franz-marc\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eGenesis I - Franz Marc — Franz Marc\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/mahna-no-varua-ino-paul-gauguin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMahna No Varua Ino - Paul Gauguin — Paul Gauguin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alberto Burri","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57618274681167,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57618282545487,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57618282578255,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57618282611023,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57618282643791,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57618282676559,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57618282709327,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57618282742095,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57618282774863,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57618282807631,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57618282840399,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57618282873167,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57618282905935,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57618282938703,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57618282971471,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57618283004239,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57618283037007,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57618283069775,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57618283102543,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57618283135311,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_adc79c9c-e621-458c-9746-e3d3705a6fff.jpg?v=1777858335","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/white-cretto-alberto-burri","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
