Ethereal Message IV
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 suggestion of a sail and on the right, a string tangle. Straight and sinuous lines together take up almost the entire area of the composition and wider sinuous lines seem to wrap it.
