Nonfinito

Nonfinito seems particularly interesting to me. Leaving something unfinished would appear to beg the question of why. In the book it explained that nonfinito was used to give a sense of worldly imperfection to certain pieces of sculpture but I think it would be interesting to be used in painting, especially murals. At the High School I graduated from, a girl painted a part of one of the walls but intentionally left space, as well as connecting pieces (painted to look unfinished at the edge) for another painter to integrate their own scene next to it.
