Beppe Sebaste has drawn, for the occasion, through a poetic written, an introductory path to the exhibition from which these words are taken: (…) Way within the “landscapes in brief” by Tullio Dangers, vague and divago somewhere in the world between Twombly, Cézanne and Ambrogio Lorenzetti, as in a book that does not end, or as in a poem by the great Wallace Stevens: (…) these landscapes also speak to me a lot about writing: writing with your hands, the art of tracing signs and bas-reliefs sometimes imperceptible but not virtual; and that other writing of the earth and in the earth, cultivated fields and also “manuscripts”, patchwork of idioms and spellings, like fabrics made of remnants of different textures; lands, not by chance of reassuring beauty, sewn with a babel of scriptures, epics and languages.
