Materia Prima 1979

"Materia Prima" is an installation piece by Lita Albuquerque created in 1979, showcasing the artist's interest in minimalist and land art. The artwork features a large mound of yellow powder, a dark blue circle, and a lone stone. The simple composition evokes a sense of emptiness and vastness, inviting viewers to contemplate the essence of matter and the power of color. The artist uses the materials as symbolic representations of the Earth's elements, creating a dialogue between nature and human intervention.
