"This handsome volume pays tribute to the genius of Georges Braque. The whole astonishing range of his oeuvre is represented, from the early Fauvist masterpieces, through the daring experiments with which he and Picasso launched the Cubist revolution in modern art, to the classically inspired canvases of the 1920s and the lyrical abstractions of his later years.

"In the present exhibition's title, Autobiography of a Line, we find the poetic reverbarations of one of Gego's closest friends: Alfredo Silva Estrada, a Venezuelan pioneer of cocrete poetry. Silva Estrada once referred to Gego's work as tejida luz (woven light), and he is one of the main sources of the lyricism that surrounds her work-a lyricism that she must have enjoyed, given her manifest love for language. Today, from our point of view, such lyrical language remains relevant, since it offers a historical explanation for the continuous metaphorical projections that are so common in the readings og Gego's oeuvre."
