Elevate Your Correspondence with Lygia Pape's 'Books-Poem' (1959)
Experience the profound intersection of geometry and lyricism with this exclusive set of 10 fine art postcards featuring Lygia Pape’s iconic 'Livro-Poema' (Book-Poem). Originally conceived in 1959, this series represents a pivotal moment in the Brazilian Neo-Concrete movement, where Pape transformed the traditional book format into a three-dimensional, sensory exploration of space and color.
As a leading figure of the Rio de Janeiro avant-garde, Pape utilized minimalist woodcuts to challenge the viewer's perception. At RedKalion, we honor this legacy by reproducing these masterpieces using our advanced 12-color fine art printing technology. Unlike standard 4-color printing, our process captures the subtle shifts in tone and the stark, rhythmic precision that Pape intended, ensuring each A6 postcard is a gallery-grade artifact in its own right.
Archival Quality for the Discerning Collector
Each postcard in this pack of 10 is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, designed to serve as both a sophisticated greeting and a collectible piece of art. The specifications reflect our commitment to museum-quality standards:
- Color Accuracy: High-fidelity 12-color pigments for unmatched depth and vibrancy.
- Premium Medium: Printed on 200 gsm (80 lb) archival paper with a thickness of 0.26 mm (10.3 mils).

What is the historical significance of Lygia Pape's 'Books-Poem'?
Created in 1959, 'Livro-Poema' is a cornerstone of the Brazilian Neo-Concrete movement. It redefined the 'book' as a visual, non-narrative object, using geometric woodcuts to engage the viewer in a spatial and sensory experience rather than a literal reading.
How does the 12-color printing improve these postcards?
Our 12-color fine art printing offers a much wider color gamut and smoother transitions than standard 4-color inkjet processes. This ensures that Lygia Pape’s precise geometric shapes and saturated tones are reproduced with museum-quality accuracy and depth.
What is the weight and feel of the postcard paper?
We use a premium 200 gsm (80 lb) paper with a thickness of 0.26 mm. The smooth matte finish provides a sophisticated, glare-free texture that feels substantial and high-end in the hand, perfect for framing or mailing.
Are these postcards environmentally friendly?
Yes. All RedKalion postcards are printed on FSC-certified paper, ensuring the materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests. Our print-on-demand model also reduces waste by eliminating overproduction and unnecessary inventory.
Will the colors fade over time?
No. By utilizing archival-grade pigments and acid-free 200 gsm paper, these postcards are designed for longevity. The 12-color technology ensures that the vibrancy of the 'Books-Poem' designs remains stable for decades under proper display conditions.
What are the exact dimensions of each card?
Each postcard in this pack of 10 is A6 size, measuring 10.5 x 14.8 cm (approximately 4.1 x 5.8 inches). This is a standard size for international mailing and fits a wide variety of commercial frames.
Is there a minimum order requirement for these art prints?
No. At RedKalion, we specialize in high-quality on-demand printing. You can order a single pack of 10 postcards with no minimum requirements, making it easy to acquire premium art reproductions for any occasion.
