Unfinished Symphony

Sinfonia incompiuta (Unfinished Symphony),1980,alludes to painting with Chia ’s typical ironic thrust. A figure depicted from the back, its face turned back toward the viewer, occupies the space. A painterly landscape acts as a background and frames the action. Painting, like music, is man ’s inner expression .It is the desire for which we yearn, a liberation from instinct.
