The artwork, titled “Abstract Composition with Silver and Magenta,” was created by the artist Jesus Rafael Soto around 1970. It is a collage on paper, representative of the Op Art movement and falls within the abstract genre.
The artwork features a striking combination of silver and magenta hues, along with black elements. It is divided into distinct sections, with a magenta rectangular block on the left and a corresponding black rectangular block on the right. Below these blocks, there are numerous parallel lines running horizontally in both black and silver, creating a sense of depth and movement. The interplay of vibrant magenta with the metallic silver and stark black lines embodies the optical illusion and dynamic perception characteristic of Op Art. The piece stands out for its bold color contrasts and geometric precision.
