Ombre portée de Maurice Henry 1968

"Ombre portée de Maurice Henry" is a 1968 work by Portuguese artist Lourdes Castro. The artwork features a stark white silhouette of a man against a deep blue background. The figure is depicted in profile, seemingly in the act of drawing or writing, emphasizing the artist's own creative practice. This minimalist approach, characteristic of Castro's work, engages with the themes of perception, representation, and the human condition. The simplicity of the image invites contemplation and emphasizes the power of suggestion and abstraction in visual art.
