Matter and shape (1958-1972)

These are high standard works fearlessly surviving time. “Demeter (Demetra, 1969), an example of terracotta successfully balanced between classical and modern, Crowd (Folla, 1969), bronze charged with extraordinary secure rhythm, the amazing work created for INPS in Palermo, and the amazing Conversation (Conversazione, 1972), two female figures exchanging worries, telling each other stories”.
(from Giancarlo Pauletto, Un percorso appassionato e coerente, in Dora Bassi, antologica, Gorizia 1997)
