Ketty La Rocca was born in 1938 and died in 1976. In this catalogue, her work begins as making poesia visiva collages often with political content but then she develops a unique style. This consists of writing on the outlines of traditional black and white photographs and/or tracing the outlines of the photograph onto one piece of translucent paper with calligraphic text and line and onto another piece of translucent paper with lines or shaded lines only. The folded, loose sheet lists the prices of the works in this exhibition. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
