Harém míope 1969

"Harém míope" (1969) by Jorge Martins (1940- ) is a grid-like composition featuring various depictions of faces, some with eyeglasses, some without. The work is a playful exploration of visual perception, as the faces appear fragmented and distorted, challenging the viewer's understanding of form and representation. The use of bright, contrasting colors and graphic lines adds to the abstract and slightly surreal nature of the composition, highlighting the theme of visual ambiguity. This piece is characteristic of Martins’ approach to painting, blending realism with abstract elements to create a unique visual language.
