Redefining Abstraction: Lygia Pape’s Books-Poem (1959)

Experience a cornerstone of Brazilian Modernism with this museum-quality reproduction of Lygia Pape’s Books-Poem (Livro-Poema). Created in 1959, a pivotal year for the Neo-Concrete movement, this work represents Pape's radical departure from traditional canvas boundaries. It is not merely a visual piece but a spatial experience that explores the rhythmic interplay of geometric forms and organic woodcut textures.

As a leading figure in the Grupo Frente and later the Neo-Concrete manifesto, Pape sought to imbue geometric abstraction with subjectivity and physical presence. This fine art print captures the stark, intellectual beauty of her original woodcuts, where the negative space is as vital as the ink itself. At RedKalion, we preserve this historical legacy by using archival-grade materials that honor the artist's original intent.

Premium Archival Craftsmanship

Every RedKalion print is an investment in longevity and aesthetic excellence. This 70x100 cm masterpiece is rendered on 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white archival paper. Unlike standard prints, our museum-quality paper is uncoated and matte, ensuring that the deep blacks and subtle textures of Pape's work are presented without distracting glare. The print is protected by shatterproof plexiglass, maintaining clarity while shielding the artwork from environmental wear.

Your artwork arrives in a robust, 20mm (0.79") thick black wooden frame, meticulously crafted from responsibly sourced oak and ash. This profile is wider than conventional gallery frames, providing a grounded, authoritative presence on your wall.
