Summary
During the 1980's Ferrari was living in exile in Brazil creating a limited number of ring bound, numbered and signed copies of books that he distributed among his friends and colleagues. This was how Cuadro Escrito (Written Painting, 1984), Parahereges (Forheretics, 1986), and Imagens (Images, 1988-89) came into being, and the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires is launching all three titles in a facsimile collection. In Cuadro Escrito whose title refers to the legendary work of the same name, Leon Ferrari gathered together an important series of his manuscript drawings which he began making in 1964 and can be both looked at and read. His extremely expressive texts oscillate between clarity and confusion, provocation and sensuality. Both image and text, they demonstrate his interest in producing art related to both languages and sound, in which the quality of the line is as suggestive as the meaning of each word.
