Periphery

“The fact of reality, which remains the support from which the artist’s fantastic vision originates, transpires only as a pretext for a kind of dream-like transfiguration, for an entirely poetic composition, completely free in its figurative abstraction. The wood and the sea, the suburbs and the battles, which are constant themes in d’Accardi’s works, thus acquire the emblematic universality of imaginary landscapes, like the woods of classical mythology or romantic lyricism.”

Maria Emilia Maisano Moro, 1979
