Italian Carnival

Harlequin is a fraud and a saint, Harlequin is a demon and a god: he sews his dress of remnants to raise it to eternal glory by drawing the threads from the prosperous cup of the Italian Commedia dell'Arte.

The two souls of the Carnival, poised on the blade of the grotesque game, are laid bare in this pattern where ton-sur-ton rhombs deceive the eye becoming a piece of furniture and essence of the environment in a delicate and immortal balance of refinement.
