At the end of the 1970s, Mira Schendel developed a series of works that differed formally from her previous graphic production. Highlights include Homenagem ao Deus - Pai do Ocidente [Homage to the God - Father of the Occident] (1975), her tempera paintings with applications of gold leaf, her mandalas, among others.

In the midst of this period, using colored pencil sketches as a starting point, Mira developed a series of watercolor and crayon drawings in the vertical format characteristic of her production. In these landscapes, she uses graphic sigils similar to the letter “A”, which are organized as groups of human figures in the midst of mountains and plains. The works were made during her travels to the Itatiaia mountains and the beaches of Cabo Frio, in Rio de Janeiro, using an economy of elements to represent nature through overlapping bands of color and planes in these imagined landscapes.

This group of works dialogues with another one entitled Paisagem Noturna de Itatiaia [Itatiaia's Night Landscape], also from 1978, marked by dark tones that suggest mountains, the night sky and the vastness of Itatiaia's mountains. However, the works presented here are characterized by a chromaticism marked by shades of white, green and blue, with geographical references such as snowy peaks, oceans, beaches and forests. In short, they are images that evoke Mira's search for a connection with nature and a retreat from urban noise, evoking memories of trips to the northern Italian countryside with her family in her childhood.

No final da década de 1970, Mira Schendel desenvolve uma série de trabalhos que se diferem formalmente em relação à sua produção gráfica anterior. Destacam-se obras como Homenagem ao Deus – Pai do Ocidente (1975), suas pinturas em têmpera com aplicação de folhas de ouro, suas mandalas, entre outros.

Em meio a esse período, partindo de esboços a lápis de cor, Mira desenvolveu uma série de desenhos em aquarela e giz de cera no formato vertical característico de sua produção. Nessas paisagens, emprega signos gráficos semelhantes à letra "A", que se organizam como agrupamentos de figuras humanas em meio a montanhas e planícies. As obras foram realizadas no período de suas viagens ao maciço do Itatiaia e às praias de Cabo Frio, no Rio de Janeiro, utilizando uma economia de elementos para representar a natureza através de faixas de cores sobrepostas e planos nessas paisagens imaginadas.

Esse conjunto dialoga com outro grupo de trabalho intitulado Paisagem Noturna de Itatiaia, também de 1978, marcado pelas tonalidades escuras que sugerem montanhas, o céu noturno e a vastidão das montanhas de Itatiaia. No entanto, as obras aqui apresentadas se caracterizam por um cromatismo marcado por tons de branco, verde e azul, com referências geográficas como cumes nevados, oceanos, praias e florestas. São, em suma, imagens que remetem à busca de Mira por uma conexão com a natureza e um afastamento do ruído urbano, evocando lembranças de viagens ao interior do norte da Itália feitas com sua família em sua infância.
