Lygia Clark — graphite on paper
Lygia Clark

graphite on paper

Lygia Clark's untitled graphite on paper work exemplifies her early engagement with geometric abstraction, revealing her meticulous exploration of line, plane, and spatial relationships. The drawing reflects her transition toward the neoconcrete movement, where rigid mathematical structure begins to give way to a more organic and sensory understanding of form. It stands as a foundational artifact in understanding Clark's evolving artistic language before her later turn toward participatory and therapeutic art practices.
