Antonio Lorenzo’s proposal in this painting is an abstract landscape or a colour field of balanced textures. Another of these visual spaces made that very same year is on display at the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español in Cuenca. Indeed, he joined the in the 1960s, connecting with its ideas for a new vision for the museum to which he was appointed an adviser.

It was around this time when Lorenzo’s work became fully abstract, reaching its visual and conceptual maturity. In 1965, a year after painting this canvas, he showed his work at the gallery of the Directorate General of Fine Arts. An essay in the exhibition catalogue commented on the importance for his practice of his contact with abstract painting through Gerardo Rueda and the US painters.

This work is girded by a balanced relationship between space and figure, the simplicity of the plane and the paint paste. It acknowledges the sensibility of a period in which Lorenzo’s sights were set on greater artistic freedom.
