An artist’s book by Francesco Clemente in which painting, poetry, and bodily perception intersect.

White Shroud, produced in India in collaboration with poet Allen Ginsberg, unfolds a sequence of quiet, contemplative images imbued with spirituality and reflections on life and death. In contrast, Pinxit presents fragmented imagery that drifts like memory or dreams, condensing Clemente’s distinctive language of the body and symbolism.

Both volumes are signed by the artist, adding to their rarity and collectibility. As each page turns, reading and viewing merge, transforming the book itself into a spatial experience. Rooted in the international art context of the 1980s, these works offer a deeply personal yet universal visual narrative.
