Opis zbirateljskega predmeta

Between 1948 and 1953, Carmen Herrera lived in Paris, where she began to develop her artistic production of concrete style. The artist recalls that it was during those years when she was finally able to feel free from academic restrictions and started to perceive pictorial space in a different way. In New York, where she lived from 1954 until her death, she strengthened the basis of a pictorial style in which the creation of distinct color fields prevails. West belongs to a stage when her work stands out for the use of acute angles, the cancellation of hierarchies between planes, and the combination of only two colors. This cobalt blue and white painting shows two isosceles triangles meeting at a specific point near the center of the canvas. It is a precise composition which accounts for a thorough and methodical practice in line with the artist’s passion for architecture. Herrera stated: “I like straight lines, I like angles, I like order. In this chaos that we live in, I like to put some order. I guess that’s why I am a hard-edge painter, not a painter of geometric figures.”
