Metaesquema 1957

"Metaesquema" (1957) by Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980) is a minimalist work on paper. It consists of black geometric shapes, primarily rectangles and triangles, arranged on a tan background. The repeated patterns create a sense of rhythm and visual interest, reflecting Oiticica's engagement with geometric abstraction and his exploration of form and color. His art often incorporated elements of Brazilian culture and challenged traditional art boundaries, paving the way for the Neo-Concrete movement.
