Over the course of her long career, Luchita Hurtado maintained a rigorous commitment to experimentationwith styles, forms, and materials, and across a range of media. Hurtado's works from the 1940s and 1950s primarily consist of paintings and works on paper that contain abstract forms, biomorphic landscapes, totemic figures, and patterns. These early works also convey Hurtado's ideas about humanity, the universe and the cosmos, and nature and the environment, themes that continued to inform her oeuvre.
