In the course of his all-too-brief career, the Italian artist Gino de Dominicis (1947-1998) was frequently characterized as an enigmatic enfant terrible, whose terms of creativity seemingly required the sacrifice of conventional career strategies.

Figurative Theorems was published for a posthumous exhibition of De Dominicis' graphic works at the Venice Biennale, and contextualizes this body of work with essays and photographs.
