Study for Painel com garrafas (Panel with Bottles)

"The drawing [Study for Painel com garrafas (Panel with Bottles)] is a study for another painting in the same series represented by the painting [accession number] P071, but it includes some important elements for understanding the artist’s creative thinking, showing how he considers and occupies the space. This thinking is synthetic, searching for the essence of forms and their organisation in space, based on the mathematical rigour of the golden section."
