The paintings Herrera made in 1948, by virtue of their mastery of all the elements – structure, form, color – show the high level she had attained within a short perido of time, as well as her capacity of assimilation. The small-format Chromatic Discourse, for example, is built on the imbrication of planes and colors inside a checkerboard made up of obliques and curves. Its intense palette consists of reds, greens, and deep blacks, with a blanced rhythm resulting from the contrasts between the lines and the colors. A personal work, it succeeds even in its discreet allusions to the art of Sonia Delaunay.
