About this work

This is a small collage of cut-up paper scraps and ink on a board. The pieces overlap in uneven layers, some edges frayed, others sharp. The colors stay mostly neutral—beiges and grays—with a single red dot near the center. Moro made this in 1935, before he moved to Mexico. The paper looks like magazine pages or ads, torn and rearranged into shapes that hint at letters or faces. This style reminds me of Schwitters’ collages, where everyday paper becomes art.
