Drunkenness of Noah

Within the geometrically binding limits of the panels, the Gothic line, without losing any of its dynamic continuity, defines athletic forms charged with compressed energy; the relief is compressed into bold foreshortenings and powerful effects of “stiacciato”, and the plastic masses seem to expand so as to absorb and propagate the atmospheric light.
