TRANSFORMATIONS PAINTINGS 1975-1977
In Transformations, the topic of deconstructing the female image gains even more strength. Gretta's face is being manipulated and distorted: “Rather than the manifestation of personal destructive tendencies, these images should be viewed as the externalization of a revolt directed against the male cultural stereotype, mortifying as it does the feminine form into the authoritarian and distorting dimension of an abstract and aesthetic beauty, to which the artist opposes the angry vision of a reverse side, through a body that is deformed, disfigured and fragmented”(Giorgio, Verzotti ,April 1979). Gretta / Diagramma, Magazine G7 Studio Italy.
