Jesús Rafael Soto, Venezuelan artist working in the fields of Op-art and kinetic art, a sculptor and a painter. Paris 1974.
In his Paris studio in 1974, Venezuelan artist Jesús Rafael Soto stands in a moment of intense concentration before one of his large-scale kinetic works. A key figure in Op-art, the sculptor and painter, wearing a light-colored cardigan, gazes at an intricate construction of taut strings. His right hand is raised, palm open, as if sensing the tension in the web of threads that stretches across the frame. Thin rods protrude horizontally from the structure, creating a complex, layered foreground through which he peers.
