Originally coined by the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg in 1930, the term \u003ci\u003econcrete \u003c\/i\u003edenotes abstract painting with no reference to external reality. Van Doesburg argued that there was nothing more real than a line, color, or plane. Artists such as Willys de Castro, Lygia Clark, Waldemar Cordeiro, Hermelindo Fiaminghi, Judith Lauand, Ra伃 Lozza, Tom疽 Maldonado, H駘io Oiticica, and Rhod Rothfuss would reinvent this concept in postwar Latin America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on research conducted by Getty and international partners, the essays in this volume address a variety of topics, including the general history, emergence, and reception of Concrete art; processes and color; scientific analysis of works; illustrated chronologies of the paint industry in Brazil and Argentina; and Concrete design on paper. An innovative technical study of the Concrete art movement in Latin America, this volume will be indispensable to scholars, practitioners, and students of Latin American art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zanna Gilbert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606067230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606067239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Getty Research Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.92h x 7.17w x 1.02d","brand":"Zanna Gilbert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986588238079,"sku":"9781606067239","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e759c61d-453c-4818-b916-7a936790d3df.jpg?v=1683284241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/purity-is-a-myth-zanna-gilbert-9781606067239","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
