Metaesquema 19 — Fine Art

Metaesquema 19 - 1958 by Helio Oiticica shows a black shape set against a pale ground. The form bends and splits with a hand drawn feel. A fine art print keeps that drawn line clear without shine under a lamp.

The mark sits a little above the centre of the wall. A light frame works on a dark wall, or a wood frame beside wooden furniture. You see the line settle on the wall and the pale ground stays soft.

It fits a study wall above a desk. From the doorway the black shape reads first, then the bend in the line comes into view as you step closer. The pale ground stays calm against the wood of the desk.
