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.
