Composición [Composition]

Esteban Lisa was a pioneer of abstraction in Argentina, although he chose not to exhibit or sell his art. He believed art making was a spiritual, ethical, and philosophical endeavor and considered art and science to be intimately related. He found in abstraction a means to communicate a subjective vision of the cosmos. In the early 1940s, Lisa played with dynamic contrasts of geometric and organic forms, solid and patterned areas, as well as light and dark tones. His muted color palette evokes the hues of the natural world.
