Catalogue Note
"[Vieira da Silva's] work is an upward spiral. [...] Her entire oeuvre developed as a sort of work in progress, in which all the paintings were mutually dependent and connected to each other. For this reason, the particular point in time at which specific paintings were done became less important.”
