In 1994 Andrea Morruchio produced a photographic series based on Antonio Canova’s works, conserved within the Gipsoteca of the Museo Canoviano in Possagno. Morucchio’s black and white photographs intensify this “strongly anti-realistic” technique - A. Corboz, 1979, which extends like a network over the surfaces of Canova’s bodies. These points are the participatory instruments of that “invisible geometry” of proportional and relational harmony amongst the parts with which, through a process of sublimation - “sublime execution”, Canova realized his sculptures.
