Parte 4 - Construções Sensíveis: A experiência Geometrica Latino Americana na Coleção Ella Fontanals-Cisneros
This is an exhibition developed especially for Brazil, forming a subtle tribute to the ‘Arte Agora III, América Latina: Geometriasensível’, exhibition, that was on display at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro in 1978, but which was destroyed by a tragic fire. Many of the artists presented at that historic event are present here, as a representation of the pioneering trends in the region, now displayed together with contemporary artists who are pointing the way forward for abstraction today.
FOTOGRAFIA
The selection of photographs used in the exhibition forms part of the creative work of artists from different regions. Members of the ‘Foto Cine Clube Bandeirante’, founded in 1939, reflect the vibrant and expanding industrialization of São Paulo through an abstract and modern visual style.
