Books By Pauline Bachmann, Lygia Pape - Author

LYGIA PAPE (1927-2004) played a central part in shaping modern art in Brazil and remains one of the most significant artists of her generation. A member of the Rio de Janeiro-based Grupo Frente since 1947, dedicated to concrete art and geometric abstraction, she signed the Manifesto Neoconcreto in 1959. Her multidisciplinary work traverses abstract-geometric paintings, drawings, woodcuts, ballet compositions, sculptures and poems, as well as experimental films, immersive spatial installations as well as explorations of public space and collective performances.
