The artist was welcomed at Palazzo San Giorgio, an exhibition venue that opened on September 25. At the entrance to the exhibition is *Prologue of the Evangelists* (1985), a work in which the erasure of musical notes becomes an integral part of the composition.
On Wednesday, October 14,Emilio Isgrò visited the new exhibition space of the Casamonti Collection in Florence, housed in Palazzo San Giorgio and inaugurated on September 25. At the entrance to the exhibition, one of his works is on display: *Prologue of the Evangelists: According to Mark, According to Matthew, According to Luke, According to John* (1985), created using mixed media and collage on canvas mounted on wood. The work consists of four elements housed in a display case.
In the work, musical scores form the basis of a composition in which the removal of notes does not equate to silence but opens up new possibilities for interpretation. This approach is part of Isgrò’s artistic exploration; he is known for using erasure as an element of his artistic language. Absence thus becomes an active part of the work and transforms into a presence capable of guiding the viewer’s gaze and prompting questions about the meaning of what remains.
