Estadios y Cordilleras (Stadiums and Mountain Ranges)
Nemesio Antúnez
Chilean, 1918–1993
1973
A 1973 portfolio of seven screenprints by Nemesio Antúnez, presented with a text by Pablo Neruda, that sets out to contrast and reflect on stadiums and the Andean mountain ranges.
The cover is a matte black field pierced by oversized, elegant white typography at the top, the title looming boldly while a wide, quiet negative space lingers beneath.
By marrying Neruda’s poetry to Antúnez’s screenprints and a stark typographic design, the portfolio exemplifies a moment in Latin American art when screenprinting became a vehicle for ambitious cultural dialogues about modernity, landscape, and national identity.
