A constellation of biomorphic nodes and tendrils unfolds across creamy paper in this monochrome linocut, “Aumun” (1961) by Catalan artist Moisès Villèlia. Published in a limited portfolio that paired Villèlia’s graphics with a poem by Belgian-Spanish writer Alain Arias-Misson, the suite captures the sculptor’s trademark organic vocabulary—here transformed into crisp, calligraphic black-and-white.
