Latin America has produced one of the
most original and experimental chapters
of the history of twentieth century art in
its many geometric abstract artists and trends,
between the 1940s and the 1970s. In recent years,
particularly the Neo Concrete artists from Brazil; the
Grupo Madí in Argentina and the Kinetic artists in
Venezuela, have received special attention. The
epicenter of Geometric Abstraction has been
seen as Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay (José Pedro
Costigliolo, María Freire and Antonio Llorens) and
Venezuela, nevertheless more research has shown
how other less expected countries such as Cuba,
have experienced a sophisticated geometric art
production in artists such as Mario Carreño, Santu
Darie, Carmen Herrera, José Mijares, Lolo Soldevilla,
and others. Colombia also, possesses several
important geometric artists such as: Feliza Bursztyn,
Omar Carreño, Eduardo Ramírez-Villamizar, Carlos
Rojas, Edgar Negret (Colombia, 1920) and Manolo
Vellojín. Even Mexico which is mostly seen as a
country that produced great Muralist art includes:
Mathias Goeritz, Carlos Mérida and Gunther
Gerzso. Furthermore, in countries with no important
abstract tradition, individual figures emerged such
as Guatemalan Margarita Azurdia, Chilean Matilde
Pérez, or Ecuadorian Araceli Gilbert.
Nevertheless, the abstract panorama in
Latin America is immensely complex
and diverse; as an example, Argentina,
beginning in the mid-1940s had a succession of
experimental and prolific abstract artists. Besides
the well known Madí artists such as Gyula Kosice,
Rhod Rothfuss, Martín Blaszko and Arden Quin, are
artists from the Arte Concreto-Invención (1945)
such as Lidy Prati, Manuel Espinoza y Juan Melé.
Raúl Lozza, coming from this movement, went on
to create the Manifiesto Perceptista in 1947. Lucio
Fontana published his Manifiesto Blanco in Buenos
Aires in 1946. In the 1960s the Neoabstracción
geométrica includes some important artists such as
María Martorell, Rogelio Polesello, Ary Brizzi, just to
mention a few. Also in the 1960s saw the flourishing
of great Kinetic artists such as Julio Le Parc, Martha
Boto, Gregorio Vardanega and Luis Tomasello. Brazil
also has an infinite number of interesting abstract
artists working at different moments and producing
innovative work such as: Hercules Barsotti, Willys
de Castro, Lygia Clark, Waldemar Cordeiro, Hélio
Oiticica, Lygia Pape, Mira Schendel and Alfredo
Volpi, to name just a few. Clearly in Venezuela the
most internationally recognized artists are: Gego,
Jesús Rafael Soto and Carlos Cruz-Diez, while
Alejandro Otero continues to be lesser known and
understood; as well as Mercedes Pardo and Elsa
Gramcko.
It would be pointless to continue with long
lists of artists and movements. The few names
mentioned above illustrate the richness and
diversity in the arena of Abstraction in Latin
America which is further complicated by the fact
that between the 1940s and 1970s, a multiple and
interwoven process of exchange existed between
Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay for example, and
also between these countries (and Venezuela) and
Europe, particularly France. Also a whole separate
singular chapter pertains to modernist photography
beginning with Geraldo de Barros in Brazil, in
Colombia with Leo Matiz and in Argentina through
Grete Stern, to mention a few examples. Not all
geometric art is clearly definable, particularly in the
case of many Brazilian artists whose abstract work
was political and/or conceptual. In Venezuela this
can be said of artist Eugenio Espinoza, or in Brazil of
Ana María Maiolino.
The abstract trend continue today in Latin
America, as many artists continues to
produce some of the most challenging
and experimental works in this field, expanding
its arena to installation art, video art, and many
conceptual and aesthetic variations, often as only
one of the art forms in their oeuvre, while they also
explore figurative art, or work with mass culture and
objects.
