Title
Fish
Description
Composition in blue and white. Lines defining contour and colored areas. Composition representing the bottom of the sea, seeing fish as if they were in a net, against a background made up of irregular colored areas. All fish are in profile to the left and distributed symmetrically. Each one is inserted into one of the squares formed by diagonal lines that cross the entire area of the composition, suggesting a network. The fish in the blue area are clearly visible and in the white area they are not very clear. Both the fish and the lines that define the net are represented by white or blue outlines contrasting with the tone of the background on which they are located.
