At the end of the 50s, the artist created the first monochromatic works called ‘Schermi’ to allude to television and cinema screens, symbols of the new civilization characterized by media. The series including this work is the first of Mauri’s Schermi, to which belong only very few pieces. The artist’s interest is all on the screen while the image disappears. The monochrome is then both the sum of the continuous flow of images and a glow after all the images have been projected. The sense of the "already happened", often reported in later works of Mauri with the inscription "The End" or "Fine", both in collages and in different Schermi after this first prototype to become a sort of brand or logo of the artist.
