- Summary:
- Latin American artist Gego (1912- 1994) produced a range of line-based abstract work, including drawings, prints, and wire sculptures. Focusing on a rare series of monotypes from the early 1950s, drawings and prints, and " drawings without paper" and " tejeduras" (woven paper pieces) of the late 1970s and 1980s, this fascinating book traces Gego' s exploration of line and space. Gego used lines as conceptual and visual tools to create in-between spaces within her works. Whether drawing lines on paper or projecting them into space, the artist sought to " make visible the invisible." She believed that line could express what is not physically present in nature- - including thought, intuition, and emotions. By manipulating the density of the lines or by interrupting them, she brought light, shadow, and feeling into her linear works.
