collages, sculptures, tapestries and abstract paintings that are

he was being exhibited in the United States. From the 1930s on, he
worked on paintings, collages, tapestries and ceramic and bronze
sculptures. His bold colors and simple lines and shapes make his work
instantly recognizable, and his monumental, abstract sculptures are
landmarks in cities such as Paris, Chicago, New York and Barcelona.br/div
