| book description |

German-born Venezuelan artist Gego (1912-1994) produced a wide range of line-based abstract work, including drawings, prints, and wire sculptures. Focusing on a rare series of monotypes from the early 1950s, various drawings and prints, and her delicate 'drawings without paper' and 'tejeduras' (woven paper pieces) of the late 1970s and 1980s, this fascinating book traces Gego's exploration of line and space. Gego used lines as conceptual and visual tools to create in-between spaces within her works. Whether drawing lines on paper or projecting them into space, the artist sought to 'make visible the invisible'. She believed that line could express what is not physically present in nature - including thought, intuition, and emotions. By manipulating the density of the lines or by interrupting them, she brought light, shadow, and feeling into her linear works. With sumptuous illustrations that reveal the poeticism of her geometric forms and her masterful and innovative manipulation of space, this book is an important contribution to scholarship on Gego and Latin American modern art.
