About this work
Overview
Μελέτη για Κοσμήματα 36 Σχέδια is a collection of 36 drawings created by Alex Mylona around 1970. The work is a study for jewelry designs, showcasing Mylona's exploration of form and design.
Subject & Meaning
The drawings feature simple geometric shapes, including circles, squares, and triangles, arranged in a grid. Some shapes intersect or overlap, while others remain separate. Handwritten notes in the margins add to the sketch's informal character, suggesting a work in progress.
Technique & Style
Executed in light pencil, the drawings are characterized by loose, gestural lines. The overall effect is one of busy, yet orderly, composition. The use of simple shapes and loose lines creates a sense of abstraction, distancing the work from representational jewelry designs.
History & Provenance
Alex Mylona, a Greek sculptor trained at the Athens School of Fine Arts, created this work during her time in Paris in the 1960s and 1970s. The study is now held in the collection of the Museum of Ethnography.
