Over the course of her eighty-year career, Luchita Hurtado’s works explored themes of spiritual connection, self-affirmation, and corporeality through idiosyncratic self-portraits and geometric abstraction. In Untitled, Hurtado asserts her presence through a personal perspective of her body, fusing the viewer’s gaze with her own. Hurtado is standing, her invisible head likely looking at her companion, as well as their ostensibly naked body. We have little context to help us understand the nature of the interaction between the two figures--whether pleasant or unpleasant. The artist’s aerial perspective makes this an intimate scene, one of a woman, Hurtado, looking down at her own body and beyond herself. In this space of derealization, the viewer is able to detach from the self and view life from the eyes of artist.
