Catalogue Note
Amalassunta è la nostra luna bella,
garantita d'argento per l'eternità,
personificata in poche parole,
amica di ogni cuore un poco stanca. Osvaldo Licini
"Licini non era un artista erudito, isolato e scontroso, preferiva misurare se stesso con la solitudine, con il cielo, la luna: gli esiti più scoperti infatti della sua ricerca culmineranno nei 'Personaggi', nelle 'Amalassunte', nel gesto blasfemo degli Angeli Ribelli in cui il geometrismo non è più che un ricordo ancora visibile nella partitura spaziale, sciolto com'è nell'iconografia dell'inconscio di Klee e Mirò".
Marzio Pinottini, Licini, Torino 1971
"Licini was not an erudite artist, rather he was isolated and grumpy, he preferred to measure himself by way of solitude, communing instead with the sky, the moon. The most insightful outcomes of his research would culminate in his 'Personaggi' (Characters), in his 'Amalassunte', in the blasphemous gesture of the 'Angeli Ribelli' (Rebellious Angels) in which geometry is no more than a memory that is still visible in space, saturated as it is in the iconography of the subconscious's of Klee and Mirò".
