Isgrò's erasure of text reflects an enduring conviction that meaning lies buried beneath layers of information, ideology and convention. Radical in its simplicity, his technique strips away verbiage, enabling what remains to speak with greater intensity. As the artist himself has asserted, the process of Cancellatura "does not destroy but creates; it does not censor but reveals".

This enigmatic piece is the earliest work that belongs to the Estorick Collection. It exemplifies Merdardo Rosso’s unconventional approach to sculpture in the way that the space around the figure is rendered as tangibly as the figure itself.

One of the work’s most distinctive features is that it was intended to be viewed from a single point of view – frontally – and is not modelled ‘in the round’, like most sculptures. The back of the work has not been covered with wax, and its internal iron framework can be glimpsed here and there in the exposed plaster.

Inspired by Cézanne and the Symbolists, and later by African and Oceanic art as well as the lines of early Renaissance painters such as Simone Martini and Botticelli, Amedeo Modigliani drew on a highly distinctive repertoire of 'primitive' forms, which he used in creating a series of elegant portraits characterised by elongated heads and simplified features.
