Nas monotipias realizadas na década de 1960, Mira Schendel (1919 - 1988) explora as fronteiras entre escrita e desenho, transformando linhas e inscrições em elementos de uma investigação visual. Impressos sobre folhas de papel arroz, os traços oscilam entre a possibilidade de leitura e a abstração. Como afirma a própria artista, “a linha, na maioria das vezes, apenas estimula o vazio. [...] De qualquer modo, o que importa na minha obra é o vazio, o vazio em atividade” (SCHENDEL apud MARQUES, 2001, p. 29). 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 linha, gesto e vazio se entrelaçam.

[In her monotypes from the 1960s, Mira Schendel (1919 - 1988) explores the boundaries between writing and drawing, transforming lines and inscriptions into elements of a visual investigation. Printed on sheets of rice paper, the marks oscillate between the possibility of legibility and abstraction. As the artist herself states, “the line, most of the time, merely stimulates emptiness. [...] In any case, what matters in my work is emptiness, emptiness in activity” (SCHENDEL apud MARQUES, 2001, p. 29). 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. The artist thus constructs a field of experimentation in which line, gesture, and emptiness intertwine.]
