Description: "Compositions under the Soil addresses key aspects of the pre-Hispanic abstraction and how it resonates in different periods of modern and contemporary art. Therefore the Andean textiles, the ceremonial Selkœnam attires, and the Nasca Lines are approached to under the work and teachings of the German artist Josef Albers, the early 20th century geometric abstraction, and the North American Land Art, correspondingly. The gaze behind these texts is not the one of anart thetheorist or historian, but the one of a visual artist, therefore the interpretations are riskier, but also openly tentative, as any such should essay be"--Verso cover.
