“Book of Creation. Fire” is an abstract artwork by artist Lygia Pape, created in 1960. It is aligned with the Neo-Concretism art movement.
The artwork presents a minimalist design featuring a geometric composition. The piece consists of a flat surface segmented with precise, straight lines forming triangular sections. These sections converge towards the center point, creating a dynamic yet orderly pattern. The choice of stark white color for the majority of the surface provides a clean and modern aesthetic. Subtle hints of red are visible along the edges of the folds, hinting at depth and dimension. The composition is methodical and restrained, embodying the principles of Neo-Concretism in its abstraction and geometric precision.
