Projeto Portinari
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Composition in the earthy, ochre, black and blue tones. Rough texture. Superimposed and juxtaposed geometric shapes. Composition built around a centrally suggests that human torso and head without representation of facial features. On the left, bounded by black lines, several irregular colored shapes as building a vertical band which occupies 1/3 of the composition. On the bottom on the right, they highlight what appear to be book sheets or notebook, with raised edges. In the upper on the right half, color unsightly masses, which brings two horizontal elements.
