Afro Basaldella (1912-1976) Born in Udine, in 1912, often simply known as Afro, was a member of the Scuola Romana. The Rossi family encountered Afro first through Alberto Burri and patiently waited until the timing was right to begin collaborating in the late 1960’s. Understanding the artist’s paintings and translating the complex structures of colour planes into the print medium was an huge challenge; the work Presenza Grafica ‘71 signalled the beginning of a new technical achievement with aquatint, pleasing not only to Afro but to the subsequent artists working in the Stamperia d’Arte 2RC.
