About this work
Overview
This 1997 drawing by Teresita Fernández is a work on transparentized paper using pencil and colored pencil. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts a disorienting architectural scene: gray steps with yellow edges and two open doorways leading to a blank white space. The forms are rendered with varying degrees of depth, creating a sense of spatial ambiguity.
Technique & Style
Fernández employed shading and linework to achieve a mix of flat and three-dimensional effects. The clean lines and slightly irregular shapes contribute to the drawing's puzzling quality.
