The composition features four stylized faces arranged in a tight, geometric configuration, showcasing the artist’s ability to blend modernist structural rigor with expressive, rhythmic lines. As a proof impression existing outside the standard numbered edition, this work offers a rare glimpse into the artist’s studio process. The inclusion of his signature green chop mark authenticates the work and places it within a pivotal period of his career, just years before his major international recognition in Madrid. The work captures the “quiet charm” and contemplative humanity that defined his diverse body of work.
