Projeto Portinari

Projeto Portinari
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Composition in black, red and gray tones. Predominance of contour lines and some parallel dashed lines. Study of two hands clasped occupying almost the entire stand area. Hands are vertically seeing yourself wrists cut by the lower edge of the support. They are side by side almost in profile, with the fingers interlaced and bent horizontally. One sees clearly the little finger, ring, middle and indicators and part of the palm to the left of the composition.
