Rubem Valentim

Emblema V

1989

This striking screen print features a bold geometric composition centered around a large circular form containing a stylized figure rendered in black against a bright yellow background. Concentric rings of black and red create a powerful focal point, while a yellow abstracted human form extends upward from the circle. The composition is framed by horizontal bands of red, yellow, and black that echo the colors and suggest cultural or regional symbolism. The work exemplifies modernist graphic design principles with its clean lines, limited color palette, and symmetrical arrangement.
