Between 1958 and 1960 Berni painted parts of modest kitchens with their mess of ladles, jugs, mortars, grills, graters, kettles and casseroles. White tiles with blue Grecian frets or shelled walls serve as backgrounds for big pots –the "morochas"– where there bubbled a "puchero" (Spanish burgoo), the water for noodles or the "locro" (popular stew) of the feast days. A dense pictorial matter, visibly modelled with spatula, imitate bumps and uncertain leftovers on the surfaces of the utensils, which tell of their appropriateness through their wastage.
