{"product_id":"59682-lygia-pape","title":"Lygia Pape","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs one of the key figures of Brazil\u0026rsquo;s Neo-Concrete movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s, Lygia Pape developed a specific understanding of geometric abstraction that resulted in a radical new conception of concrete-constructivist art, challenging an overly rigid rationalism by moving toward more subjective, multi-sensorial modes of expression. Marking Pape\u0026rsquo;s first solo exhibition in Germany, this richly illustrated book presents the artist\u0026rsquo;s unusual creative power in all its breadth, drawing on a body of documents from the artist\u0026#39;s archive that is published here for the first time.\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr \/\u003e\nAgainst the backdrop of the tension between Brazil\u0026rsquo;s vibrant avant-garde and the growing political repression under the military dictatorship (1964\u0026ndash;1985), Pape\u0026rsquo;s work reflects ethical and socio-political issues and harnesses experimental explorations not just of metaphorical geometric, but social space to create poetic manifestations of subtle resistance. Emphasizing the primacy of the viewers\u0026#39; sensorial experiences, Pape went as far as to declare them to be the actual creators of her works.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLYGIA PAPE (1927–2004) played a central part in shaping modern art in Brazil. A member of the Rio de Janeiro-based Grupo Frente, dedicated to concrete art and geometric abstraction, she signed the Manifesto Neoconcreto in 1959. Her 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45526278013192,"sku":"9783775752251","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775752251_1948ed60-96d6-42e5-898d-ec1adc66b551.jpg?v=1744112631","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/59682-lygia-pape","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
