Note: Argentinian artist Krasno uses paper as a veritable plastic material, which he models in a liquid state, giving rise to a poetry that is both singular and strange. Krasno's first white reliefs appeared in the early 1960s, and later became full-fledged compositions presented inside Plexiglas boxes. Here, he asserts the purity of paper, left in its immaculate white. Represented in the museums of Buenos Aires, the Bibliothèque nationale de Paris, the Musée Art moderne de la ville de Paris, the Musée d'art et d'industrie de Saint-Etienne, and the Museum of The Hague.
