Catalog published on the occasion of the exhibition “The measurement of the Unexpressed measure of silence Yamamoto Masao | Ettore Frani", edited by Matteo Galbiati, 20 October – 2 December 2017, Francesca Giraudi – Francesca Giraudi, Milan.

This new dialogue between arts and artists, which on this occasion is generated and activated by the intense exchange between the works of the master Yamamoto Masao and those of Ettore Frani, it fits coherently into the logic of the choices we have always made in our projects and is part of it, punctually, in that specific planning aimed at comparing ways and worlds, thoughts and research, reflections and expressiveness that are different yet intimately linked to each other. Eastern aesthetics, Japanese specifically, and the Western ones are highlighted in their remoteness of models, but they also always appear deducible according to an intimate affinity, subtly and hidden, which enables a narrow and obvious, as conceptually definable, comparison that ascertains the depth of man's thought and his universal identity.
The exhibition too The measure of the Unexpressed, then, starts from the meeting, halfway, between two worlds and between two ways (photography for Masao and painting for Frani) that, although distant in history and culture, they find, once approached, that specific and surprising synergy with which we can question ourselves about the concrete possibility of an effective, and not pretentious, dialogue between the parties. So decide to compare two artists as they can, anyway, appear to be a gamble: very different, in fact, appear, albeit in an era of global culture, the cultural premises that animate the respective research; The founding premises of their doing are complex and different and equally specific are the methods and temporality of the approach between a Western and an Eastern work of art which often seem to follow non-linear and obvious paths.
