Cornelia Vargas / Superposition of 3 and 2 squares

One of the four works that won the "Woman Artist Award".

Cornelia Vargas was born in Germany in 1934. She was a student of Max Bill, a student at the Bauhaus and a leading exponent of concrete art. She arrived in Valparaiso in 1960 and worked as an architect with her Chilean husband. She experimented with the multiple possibilities of composition through the “magic square” derived from numerical systems, which she combined in each design. She revalued the creative process and form over color. She used flat colors without gradations, which interact with each other creating visual tension.

“Superposition of 3 and 2 squares” is a work originally from 2013. Its first exhibition took place in Valparaiso in 2015.
