This vibrant paper collage features a bold composition of abstract shapes in rich, warm hues. A large, orange semicircle forms the focal point, radiating upward with dynamic arcs of yellow and orange, contrasting against a soft lavender background. The layered paper elements create a textured, dimensional effect, while the minimalist lines add a touch of sophistication. This striking artwork captures the essence of mid-century modern design, perfect for adding a burst of color and energy to any space.
The majority of Vera's original artwork is unsigned and undated. This absence of her signature is largely due to her original artwork being used in textile and houseware designs, where her trademarked signature was later added. Typically, her original artwork was named after being incorporated into a master strike off. In some instances, the date of the piece was added to the back; however, this date may signify when the artwork was trademarked or presented to a customer. Some of her original pieces include notes on the back, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of The Vera Company.
