These are accompanied by drawings, engravings and tapestries, offering a comprehensive overview of the artist's practice. Vieira da Silva's work embraces a variety of styles and influences that range from the decorative geometric patterns of the Hispano-Arab tiles called \u003ci\u003eazulejos\u003c\/i\u003e to the checkerboard tablecloths present in the paintings of Pierre Bonnard. This catalog aims to draw attention to the relationship between abstraction and figuration in her work, expressed in architectural spaces that blur the distinction between real and imaginary urban landscapes, above and beyond the formal references to Portuguese visual culture and avant-garde movements including Cubism and Futurism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book was published in conjunction with Peggy Guggenheim Collection.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Marsilio Arte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9791254632710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176","brand":"Maria Helena Vieira Da Silva","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51474283298997,"sku":"9791254632710","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_76178b51-0861-418a-a6d2-f26791fdace5.jpg?v=1754405564","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/maria-helena-vieira-da-silva-anatomy-of-space-9791254632710","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
