Sin Titulo, Mural de Armando Barrios, Plaza del Rectorado
At 108 inches (9 foot) high by 800 inches (66.6 foot) wide, this untitled work is the largest of the three murals of the abstract-geometric period of the painter Armando Barrios (1920 - 1999). The piece was created in 1953 at the request of the architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva. Made with 0.8-inch x 0.8-inch stoneware mosaic tiles of, the mural can be seen in the Plaza of the Rector at the Central University of Venezuela, UCV. It highlights the west facade at the north end of the Museum Building. Barrios, a music lover, creates in this mural a pictorial melody with yellow, blue, purple, black and white. The critic Perán Herminy pointed it out in 2008: “His work, integrating disciplines and concepts, maintains the harmony capable of making the painting vibrate, of converting the composition of the painting into a happy musical score, where the light survives and where the rhythm of the colors, the compasses of the structures, the sinuous lines and the wavy nuances of the proportions activate infinite articulations of sounds and silences".
