Catalog: River 104. // Helena Vieira da Silva's Azteque (Tumulus), created in 1971, is a limited edition lithograph, part of an edition of 100. The artwork features an abstract composition with a rich palette of earthy reds, browns, and blacks. The textured and layered brushstrokes create a sense of depth, reminiscent of ancient architectural forms or ruins, aligning with the title’s reference to Aztec culture and tumuli (burial mounds). The fragmented and overlapping patterns evoke a sense of movement and disintegration, suggesting the passage of time and the erosion of civilizations. Vieira da Silva's work captures both the structural and transient aspects of memory, space, and history.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
