Nas monotipias realizadas na década de 1960, Mira Schendel (1919 - 1988) explora as fronteiras entre escrita e desenho, transformando letras, palavras, números e linhas em elementos de uma investigação visual. Impressos sobre folhas de papel arroz, os traços oscilam entre a possibilidade de leitura e a abstração, tornando a linguagem simultaneamente imagem e signo. Como observa Sônia Salzstein (2007), a escrita nas monotipias não se limita à presença de caracteres gráficos, mas coloca em questão as próprias relações entre arte e linguagem. Em algumas obras, as inscrições parecem fragmentadas ou indecifráveis; em outras, o gesto se reduz a linhas sutis, nas quais o espaço vazio estabelece uma relação de reciprocidade com a marca impressa. A artista constrói, assim, um campo de experimentação em que linguagem, gesto e silêncio se entrelaçam.
[Within her monotype practice, Mira Schendel (1919 - 1988) explores the boundaries between writing and drawing, transforming letters, words, numbers, and lines into elements of a visual investigation. Printed on sheets of rice paper, the marks oscillate between the possibility of legibility and abstraction, positioning language simultaneously as image and sign. As Sônia Salzstein (2007) observes, writing in Schendel’s monotypes is not limited to the presence of graphic characters, but calls into question the very relationship between art and language. In some works, the inscriptions appear fragmented or indecipherable; in others, the gesture is reduced to subtle lines, in which the empty space establishes a reciprocal relationship with the printed mark. Schendel thus creates a field of experimentation in which language, gesture, and silence intertwine.]
