Bottego Ligero

 

In the mid 1950s, Salto's pursuit of his Bottego style wanders to a lighter use of color leaving a stronger definition of white space. This lighter style he names Ligero (spanish for Light)

 

In this medium he continues to use metal blades to implement a more spartan interpretation of the geometric abstractions of Francis Bott with an obvious influence from the Bauhaus movement. Application of watercolor and acrylic complete the forms.
