Art/Literary - Archaeology / ivory reliefs | | Italian term or phrase: pieni e vuoti | | Frase:Così, ai due macro raggruppamenti, fenicio e nord-siriano, in cui erano stati suddivisi gli avori orientali se ne affiancò un terzo: una via di mezzo tra il primo stile, esile ed elegante, ricco di elementi attinti al patrimonio figurativo egiziano, ed il secondo, massiccio e più laconico, che predilige i pieni ai vuoti |

| | filling the surface; preferring a filled surface... | Explanation:
preferring a filled surface (to negative space)
I found this reference: www.bible-history.com/ancient_art/panel_with_bearded_man.ht...
panel is entitled: panel with bearded male holding tendrils
the entire surface is worked - to the edges; there is also text (a single reference) that supports completely filling a surface -just scroll down.

If you google, google in the name of the panel (panel with bearded male...) rather than the address, which doesn't seem to ever lead directly to the site.

and the second, solid and more laconic, better suited to positive space than to negative space.
