Through essays written over a period of more than twenty years, the author proposes an approach that sees the two masterpieces as poems composed by the visual language and plastic, removing them from the fate of works-fetish in which they were delivered by a ' tourist sense of enjoyment of art increasingly popular, and even by some art critics.
