The theme he discovers - this claw, this hand, this trident, this gallows - is already a style. He bends it to his moods, imprints his fantasies on it, calms it or exacerbates it, unleashes it, puts it to sleep, haunts it, indulges it. There is nothing he cannot make it do, nothing he cannot make it say.
One theme: the whole world.
Since Mondrian, I have never seen such an intimate and tenacious union of personal style. Allowing for due differences, of course, as the contrast between the two is remarkable. Capogrossi is infinitely richer than Mondrian, who is infinitely deeper. One established solid and simple foundation from which the other can profit, build upon, and afford a thousand fantasies.
