The Abstract Series
For these series, he used tracing sheets of paper that he himself crumpled, as the supports. He outlined different geometries using synthetic enamel. The most successful example of these series is A la Manera de Aru Dutt, 1974. This geometry of textures is impossible to relate to others: this series is about the same empty children from Prior’s beginnings, about his surface–children, becoming cubes, hexagons, rectangles, pyramids or taking other shapes.
After the seventies, Prior reappeared with a retrospective self anthology exhibition flooded with abstract symbolism, over elaborated with Japanism, fit to magnetize all kind of literary associations.

Famous quotes containing the words abstract and/or series:
“The whole body of what is now called moral or ethical truth existed in the golden age as abstract science. Or, if we prefer, we may say that the laws of Nature are the purest morality.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I thought I never wanted to be a father. A child seemed to be a series of limitations and responsibilities that offered no reward. But when I experienced the perfection of fatherhood, the rest of the world remade itself before my eyes.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
