This painting consists of a field of complex geometric figures based on Mannerist designs, each different, that were also of interest to M.C. Escher. Surrounding them are other hand-painted designs, including references to classical and pre-Columbian art. This series of works, all on cut plywood, are discussed at length in Jeffrey Collins, “Through the Window: Pedro Friedeberg’s Sublime Architecture,” in Deborah Holtz et al. eds, Pedro Friedeberg (Mexico City: Trilce, 2009), pp. 292-95, which includes illustrations of other compositions from the same series. The painting was included in Pedro Friedeberg: Arquitecto de Confusiones Impecables, a major retrospective exhibition held at the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City (2010).
