Composition
Candido Portinari1946
Projeto Portinari
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Composition in black and white. Sinuous lines and straight. Shaded obtained by tangled and intersecting lines more or less close. Composition with non-figurative and figurative forms. In the center, the front face of a figure that appears to be a clown; in the upper on the right area, suggestion of eyes. Straight and sinuous lines together occupy most of the composition and wider sinuous lines seem to wrap it.
