After waiting for the area to fill up with people, he then takes his images. These lithographs are rich with banal detail; large masses of people are crowded close together, going about their individual day, while wedged between the sea and a man-made industrial landscape. "Knokke (2)" and "(4)" are a set of two offset lithographs, executed circa 2002. Each is numbered '59 from the rare edition of 12' and has the artist's stamp on the verso. The dimensions of each are 26 x 33 3/4 inches. Both prints are framed and matted in very good condition. Massimo Vitali (ITALIAN, 1944) Massimo Vitali was born in Como, Italy, in 1944.
