Publisher's Synopsis
Brazilian artist Lygia Pape was a founding member of the Neo-Concrete movement, which was dedicated to the inclusion of art into everyday life. Her early work developed out of an interest in European abstraction; however, she and her contemporaries went beyond simply adopting an international style, and started to draw on their own local situation. The texts in this monograph explore the artist's efforts to create a language that echoes a new order of sensation and sensibility.
