End of the creative work and the printing is done

2000 copies have been printed

The tests in Photoshop were then prepared by the photographer & artist Roberto Delpiano, and consequently were defined and made the photoliths that would be used for screen printing: the four basics (CMYK) to faithfully reproduce the original colors and other 9 single-color printings to highlight the important details of the screenprint: the face, the hands, the flowers on the dress, the blue background, the armchair, the fire, etc.

2000 copies were then printed, which is not a small thing for an artistic silk-screen production, especially due to the very high number of looms for the 13 colors.

But so it was decided to get an optimal result, and so it was done.

Silvano Caselli, Bruno Tosi and Roberto Delpiano had no doubts about how to proceed to obtain the result that the original painting deserved to be replaced.

And Silvano Caselli, having finished the printing work, devoted himself to choosing the best prints (of the 2000 printed, 150 ended up being thrown away), analyzed and signed, one by one, all those that received his approval, and a new masterwork is created.

The new "New National Theatre, Tokyo (NNTT)", opened on October 9, 1997, was where the silkscreen, replacing the lost painting, was presented by Bruno Tosi for the first time.
