Muro - Nuvem Verde 1961

"Muro - Nuvem Verde" (1961) by Joaquim Rodrigo (1912-1996) is an abstract painting characterized by simplified forms and bold colors. The artwork showcases a muted golden brown background with vibrant pops of red, black, and white, creating a striking visual contrast. Simple figures like a house, trees, a person, and birds are outlined in black and filled with flat color. The title, translated as "Wall - Green Cloud," hints at a symbolic narrative, though the exact meaning is open to interpretation. Rodrigo's unique style combines elements of abstract expressionism and naive art, resulting in a whimsical yet powerful depiction of a seemingly rural scene.
