[EM BRANCO]
Identifier:
MusA-412Description
A woman fragmented into pieces accompanying an irregular, framed rectangular shape on the right.The serigraph is made up diagonally of two groups of figurative elements placed on an ultramarine blue background. The representation of the woman occupies the lower left diagonal. She is in the foreground, balanced on a wide foot with three toes, which represent the tip of a strong, shapely leg that connects above to voluptuous red buttocks in the shape of half a heart. The woman's bust is fragmented, made up separately of a burgundy belly in the shape of a convex half-moon, two breasts and a black arm raised under her blonde head. The belly is a waning quarter whose lower apex rests on the buttocks. Above it is a circle with a smaller circle in the center representing the nipple. To its right, a black half lemon represents the second breast with a nipple at the right end that stands out for its light, skin-colored hue. At the left edge of the serigraph, at the level of the breasts, the sturdy black arm begins, which rises and bends at a right angle, resting behind the woman's blonde head.
The head hangs to the left and above the breasts. The black, masculine face is drawn in profile, turned to the right, forming a prominent nose, an open lip and a creased chin. The only visible eye is round, as is the dark iris.
In the background, a rectangle striped in cyan blue and light yellow resembles a carpet which is placed diagonally across the woman's buttocks and thigh.
The upper right diagonal of the screen print is occupied by an irregular rectangle that resembles a mirror framed in petrol green. The bordeaux background is occupied by the duplication of the number "two", one located in the background in relation to a pair of green breasts, and another number, colored in lilac, partially visible, located in the foreground, in the lower left corner of the rectangle.
Contrasting with the saturated ultramarine blue background of the engraving is a square divided into four in the top left-hand corner of the serigraph. It forms a checkerboard painted in light yellow and petrol blue.
The head is adorned with a short headdress at the nape of the neck, rounded in light yellow, similar to a helmet.
