A hymn to the Shulamite 1982

"A Hymn to the Shulamite" (1982) is a vibrant abstract work by renowned Guatemalan artist Carlos Mérida (1891–1984). Known for his geometric compositions and vibrant color palettes, Mérida often explored themes of Mayan art and culture in his work. This piece, with its bold blocks of color and abstract forms, demonstrates Mérida's mastery of geometric abstraction while suggesting a symbolic representation of the Shulamite, a biblical figure often interpreted as a symbol of beauty and love.
