Named after a Brazilian island, Morro da Viuva II, 1975, is part of the aptly titled Brazilian Series of metal reliefs by Frank Stella made between 1974-1975. A distilled extension of his previous Polish Village series, these reliefs demonstrate a renewed emphasis on the pictorial rectangle. Although comprised of irregular shapes, some which extend beyond the four boundary edges of the aluminum rectilinear background, Morro da Viuva II shows the first stages of the artist's return to a classic rectangular picture plane and Stella's iconic and continued exploration of precise geometric abstraction.
