Roundabout 1958, Mara completely shifts from the cautious reduction of reality to lyrical abstraction. Colour that appears washed rather than painted, rotating curves that attract and repel one another, gnawed edges, as in the snapshots of volcanic eruptions, the dynamics of vortices, 'tactical cosmography'.
