Artists in conversation
Lygia Clark
Brazilian · b. 1920
Clark shared Meireles's Brazilian conceptual sensibility and frequently worked with delicate graphite and ink drawings on paper that balanced geometric precision with expressive intuition, closely mirroring the refined two dimensional approach seen in this watercolor and graphite work.
Hélio Oiticica
Brazilian · b. 1937
Oiticica produced intimate works on paper combining watercolor washes and gestural mark making that reflect a similar fusion of conceptual intent and tactile material sensitivity found in Meireles's 2008 drawing.
Waltercio Caldas
Brazilian · b. 1946
Caldas is known for spare and meditative drawings executed in graphite on paper that emphasize conceptual precision and visual economy, qualities that align closely with the refined two dimensional sensibility Meireles demonstrates in this watercolor and graphite piece.
