A new monograph on Lygia Pape, leader of Brazil's 1960s avant-garde

“Slits, eyes, geometries emerge from this source/wood that are Pythagorean flowers,” Lygia Pape said of her late-50s Tecelares woodcut series. “Surfaces unfold in an oscillating to and fro before the viewer, apparently trying to be their own reverse.” Featured image is a “Tecelar” from 1958, reproduced from the new Pape monograph from Hauser & Wirth Publishers.
