The work
Two canvases of 1978 bear the same title and have to be looked at together, because it is the comparison that says what she was after. In one the woman has no body: she is a red form folded like a cloth or an opened fruit, on an olive-green ground, and the figure is recognised only from the rhythm of the folds.
In the other there is a real bust — head, shoulders, a red drape, and behind them a landscape with white cubes set on the grass. The same word and two opposite roads, abstraction and portrait, tried in the same year.
