Is it image or rather story? Sometimes it is image, sometimes story: And right there, where it seems to be more image - that’s more figure, more geometry, more composition, in one word more painting - it is more story, instead: like those Ionely or grouped chairs, plunged in a loneliness and silence full of significance. Whereas, there where it seems to be more story — that’s more fairy tale, more dream, more magic, in one word more evoking and creation - it is the exact opposite, that’s to say more image: like in those little houses, sometimes standing alone, sometimes gathered together, set in a mostly monochrome red or yellow ochre background.
(Pier Angelo Soldini, Is it image or story?, Aiace ed., Turin, 1972)
