What makes Carmen Herrera’s 'Black and White' (1952) significant?
Painted during her pivotal Paris years, this work marks Herrera's shift toward radical geometric abstraction. It represents her early mastery of balance and spatial tension, predating the minimalist movement by decades, making it a cornerstone of 20th-century art history.
What was Herrera’s artistic focus in the early 1950s?
During the early 1950s, Herrera focused on reducing her palette to two colors to explore the 'straight line.' Her background in architecture influenced her precision, resulting in works that function as both paintings and structural explorations.
What are the physical specifications of this acrylic print?
The print is crafted on 4mm (0.15") thick acrylic with straight-cut corners for a contemporary look. We use a white background behind the print to ensure color density and optimal presentation of the black-and-white contrast.
Is the mounting hardware included with the print?
Yes, each 70x100 cm print includes a professional hanging kit. This includes screws and pre-drilled holes (8mm diameter) at each corner, placed 14mm from the edge to ensure a secure and elegant installation.
