Concrete Matters South America

By Matilda Olof-Ors

Book Overview

During a few decades of dramatic social change and optimism, artists in Montevideo, Buenos Aires, S?o Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Caracas developed a new "concrete" language independent of representative imagery. Concrete Matters presents some 70 works from the mid-1930s to the 1970s by artists who developed concrete art. It highlights the Brazilian neo-concrete movement, with artists such as Lygia Clark, Willys de Castro and Heli? Oiticica, and also includes works by Max Bill, Alu?sio Carv?o, Waldemar Cordeiro, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Geraldo de Barros, Willys de Castro, Gego, Judith Lauand, Ra?l Lozza, Gyula Kosice, Tom?s Maldonado, Juan Mel?, Juan Molenberg, Alejandro Otero, Lygia Pape, Rhod Rothfuss, Luiz Sacilotto, Mira Schendel, Ivan Serpa, Jes?s Soto, Joaqu?n Torres-Garc?a and Anatol Wladyslaw. The selection draws on the Colecci?n Patricia Phelps de Cisneros.
