“Travanti works with newspaper fragments cut out from various American and foreign periodicals…he arranges his material in rhythmical passages, with much attention paid to edge and direction, and to what possible impact the words and letters contained in the pieces of columns and headlines carry…the lively patterns formed by the newspaper fragments are intensified by vigorously drawn shapes and painted white highlights…The messages sent by this particular field are noticeably ambiguous and open ended...The work has both abstract and associative connotations...The converging passages create an overall rhythmical impression, as well as an illusionistic depth.”
