Different historical, political and artistic periods. Different social and urban contexts. Through their works, these artists depicts expressions of a visual vocabulary that refers to continuous interconnections between art and society: gathering strong inputs, eager to find a synergy between past and future, oscillating between different contexts. In this different explorations, the landscape, especially the urban one, becomes a metaphor for the incessant metamorphosis of society. PRESS RELEASE Geraldo De Barros (Sao Paulo, 1923 – 1998), was a Brazilian painter, I pag. 2 photographer and designer, who also worked in engraving, graphic arts, and industrial design. He was a leader of the concrete art movement in Brazil, cofounding Grupo Ruptura and was known for his trailblazing work in experimental abstract photography and modernism. Geraldo de Barros began his investigations into photography in the mid-1940s in São Paulo. He built a small photo studio and bought a 1939 Rolleiflex and, in According to The Guardian, 1949, he joined the Foto Cine Club Bandeirante, which was one of the few forums De Barros was "one of the most influential Brazilian artists of the for the city’s photography enthusiasts. -

Entre 1946 e 1951, num período de formação, paralelamente à produção de pinturas, desenhos e gravuras, ele vivenciou um intenso processo de criação conhecido como Fotoformas. O segundo momento corresponde a seus dois últimos anos de vida, de 1996 a 1998, quando produziu a série Sobras a partir de seu arquivo de fotos de família. A exposição Geraldo de Barros e a fotografiae o livro que a acompanha pro- curam apresentar de maneira abrangente sua relação com a imagem fotográfica. Além de abordar as séries Fotoformas e Sobras, incluem também pinturas dos anos 1960 e 1970 sobre fotos publicitárias de anúncios e outdoors. As três fases deixam claro que, para Geraldo de Barros, a imagem fotográfica não era uma representação objetiva da realidade, mas um material pas- sível de ser manipulado de diferentes maneiras. -

But it is unique in that it extends the power of the mind as well as the hand - Robert Mallary ‘Writing New Codes’ presents three major pioneers of computer art – Waldemar Cordeiro (b. 1925 Rome, Italy – d. 1973 São Paulo, Brazil), Robert Mallary (b. 1917 Toledo, USA – d. 1997 Northampton, USA) and Vera Molnár (b.1924 Budapest, Hungary) from three different corners of the globe with early computer art from 1969 – 1977. Although each has an original style and distinctive approach, influenced by aspects of Constructivism, Op Art, Systems Art and Conceptualism and Concrete art, with these works can be seen a similar modernist aesthetic and common interest in exploiting the unique capabilities inherent in the computer. Artists have always been early adopters of new technology, but the complexity and rarity of computers meant that any art form based around them was bound to be a particularly specialised branch of modernism. Computer art is an historical term to describe work made with or through the agency of a digital computer predominately as a tool but also as a material, method or concept from around the early-1960s onward, when such technology began to become available to artists. The writing of an algorithm, a step-by-step procedure fed into the computer on punched cards or paper tape would produce lines (visible on an oscilloscope or CRT screen if one was available), which could be output to a plotter. -
Martha Schwendener Art and Language in Vilém Flusser's Brazil: Concrete Art and Poetry
FLUSSER STUDIES 30 Martha Schwendener Art and Language in Vilém Flusser’s Brazil: Concrete Art and Poetry In his correspondence with friends and colleagues, Vilém Flusser often complained that he felt exiled to the periphery of culture and intellectual life after migrating from Europe to Brazil in 1940. Paradox- ically, however, he was arriving at a center of innovation that would shape his thinking. Concrete art and poetry flourished in Brazil in the fifties, and Flusser, who had decided that his primary focus would be language, was introduced to these new vernaculars. In particular, the formal layout of Concrete art and poetry, with their rigorous approaches to space, color, and typography, would impact Flusser. “The Gestalt,” he wrote, and “the visual character of writing” in “Concretist experiments are rupturing discursive thought and endowing it with a second dimension of ‘ideas’ which discursive thought cannot supply.”1 These methods served as proto-interfaces or screens, predicting the digital revolution, and offering what poet and theorist Haroldo de Campos called a “new dialogical relationship” with “im- perial” languages, since Concrete art was an international language and Concrete poetry took very little vocabulary to interpret and understand.2 This paper looks at Flusser’s personal engagement with these phenomena and how they informed his concept of “superficial” reading, non-linear “post-historical” thinking, and the idea that philosophy itself would eventually be practiced in images rather than written words. Art in Brazil Brazil was becoming a vital center for visual art in the forties. The Modern Art Week (Semana de Arte Moderna) in São Paolo in February 1922, with a flurry of exhibitions, lectures, poetry readings, and concerts is often seen as a seminal moment for the advent of modern art in Brazil, analogous to the Armory Show in 1913, which introduced European modernism to New York. -

Material Didático Exposição Arte
Ao longo dos últimos 30 anos, a Fundação Edson Queiroz, sediada em Fortaleza, vem constituindo uma das mais sólidas coleções de arte brasileira do País. Das alegorias dos quatro continentes, pintadas no século XVII, à arte contemporânea, a coleção reunida pelo chanceler Airton Queiroz percorre cerca de quatrocentos anos de produção artística com obras significativas de todos os períodos. A exposição “Arte moderna na Coleção da Fundação Edson Queiroz” traz um recorte circunscrito no tempo desse precioso acervo, destacando um conjunto de obras produzidas entre 1920 e 1960 tanto por artistas brasileiros quanto por estrangeiros residentes no País. A mostra abre com Duas amigas, pintura referencial da fase expressionista de Lasar Segall e, em seguida, apresenta trabalhos dos chamados anos heroicos do modernismo brasileiro, em que as tentativas de renovação formal estão em pauta. Paralelamente à modernização da linguagem, alguns artistas dessa geração também se interessaram pela busca de imagens que refletissem uma identidade do e para o Brasil. No século XX, o debate nacionalista girava em torno da recuperação de elementos nativos, anteriores à colonização europeia, somados à miscigenação racial, fator que passa a ser considerado decisivo na formação do povo brasileiro. As décadas de 1930 e 1940 foram marcadas por uma acomodação das linguagens modernistas. As experimentações cedem lugar a um olhar para a arte do passado e, nesse momento, surgem “artistas-professores”, como Ernesto de Fiori, Alberto da Veiga Guignard e Alfredo Volpi, que se tornariam referenciais para seus contemporâneos e para gerações vindouras. Desse período, merecem destaque trabalhos de Alfredo Volpi e José Pancetti que, além de comparecerem com um número significativo de obras na Coleção da Fundação Edson Queiroz, estabelecem uma transição entre a pintura figurativa e a abstração, apresentada na sequência. -
Judith Lauand: the 1950S
Judith Lauand: The 1950s 8 February – 9 March 2013 Private View 7 February 2013, 6 – 8pm Stephen Friedman Gallery is delighted to present an exhibition of works by Brazilian artist Judith Lauand. Born in 1922, this is the artist’s first solo show in Europe and brings together a unique selection of paintings, drawings, gouaches and collages from the 1950s. The exhibition traces Lauand’s creative development and charts her pioneering of Concrete Art over the course of this important decade. The first works in the exhibition date back to 1954, a turning point in Lauand’s career in which she was introduced to concrete art. In the following years, Lauand became closely associated with the São Paulo based Grupo Ruptura, an avant garde group of international artists lead by Waldemar Cordeiro and self declared followers of Max Bill. The Grupo Ruptura artists were the first proponents of Concretism in Brazil, spearheading ground-breaking exhibitions with a clear ideology and manifesto. Their actions were to completely transform the artistic landscape in Brazil and prefigure the now well-known future generation of Neo-Concretism. Lauand was the only woman to ever participate in Grupo Ruptura and the later works exhibited in the show date to 1959, the last year of the group’s existence. By unifying a body of work previously unseen in Europe, the exhibition provides new insight into Lauand’s unique contribution to the exploration of Concretism in Brazil over this incredibly influential time. Lauand’s rigorous modus operandi is immediately evident in this group of works as each gouache, drawing, collage and painting was systematically catalogued and preserved by the artist with a unique number. -

It does so by the study of the abstract rupture, the concrete ra- dicalization, the informal reverie, the participant approach, the popcreto and the arteônica’s semantization. Keywords Waldemar Cordeiro, concrete art, abstract art, modern art, artistic route. 64 Num meio cada vez mais afeito à cordialidade gestada na complacência acrítica do mercado, a figura de Waldemar Cor- deiro (Roma, 1925; São Paulo, 1973) permanece referencial. Di- fícil dissociar obra e personagem, tanto mais para aqueles que vivenciaram o ímpeto renovador que marca sua trajetória na arte brasileira, acelerando, na melhor tradição das vanguardas, o próprio processo e assim o curso da história. Envolto em descrições sempre passionais, repletas de vestígios factuais a enredar uma necessidade aguda de interlocução, decerto incomodava – e muito. -

7 Anthropophagous Political Uses of Pop Art in the Aftermath of the Brazilian Military Coup D’État of 1964
7 AnthroPOPhagous Political Uses of Pop Art in the Aftermath of the Brazilian Military Coup D’état of 1964 Oscar Svanelid 215 It has been presumed that Brazilian artists in the 1960s thought U.S. pop art to be a devaluation of art without, that is, perceiving the critical impli- cations of that position (e.g. pop art as an attack on art as high culture). Brazilian art historian Sérgio B. Martins has recently given authorial weight to this view in his influential study Constructing an Avant-Garde: Art in Brazil 1949–1979. In a critical review of the Brazilian avant-garde and the realist turn that it took in the 1960s, Martins makes a brief but suggestive comment on its anti-reception of pop art. His argument is that the critical standpoint that Brazilian artists and critics took in relation to pop art showed signs of ignorance on their part.1 Martins’ claim is basic- ally that the Brazilians did not know better than to dismiss pop art together with its commercial imagery. To explain this ignorance, Martins points to the peripheral position of the Brazilian avant-garde and its limited access to the original works of pop art. In the 1960s, the only time U.S. pop art was only shown in Brazil was when William C. Seitz curated the American pavilion at the IX São Paulo Biennial, 1967. That year Seitz had put together a selection of American artists into an extended lineage 1 Sérgio B. Martins, Constructing an Avant-Garde: Art in Brazil 1949–1979, Cambridge, Mass. -
Political Crisis and Artistic Renewal in 1960S and 1970S Brazil : Transgressing Paradigms and Prohibitions
Political crisis and artistic renewal in 1960s and 1970s Brazil : transgressing paradigms and prohibitions Extrait du Artelogie http://cral.in2p3.fr/artelogie/spip.php?article393 Dr. Maria de Fátima Morethy Couto Political crisis and artistic renewal in 1960s and 1970s Brazil : transgressing paradigms and prohibitions - Numéro 8 - Date de mise en ligne : vendredi 22 janvier 2016 Description : MOTS-CLÉS : art brésilien, dictature militaire, néo-concretisme, critique d'art, art d'avant-garde Artelogie Copyright © Artelogie Page 1/17 Political crisis and artistic renewal in 1960s and 1970s Brazil : transgressing paradigms and prohibitions RESUMÉ : L'article porte sur les changements survenus dans la scène artistique brésilienne des années 1960 et 1970 et liés à la situation politique et économique du pays. Tandis que, dans l'après-guerre, le Brésil avait connu une période de forte croissance économique et de modernisation industrielle, dans les années 1960, la croyance générale dans le destin moderne de la nation avait été remplacée par une forte crise politique et économique. La plupart des artistes et intellectuels d'avant-garde se sont alors engagés dans le débat politique et ont pris parti par rapport à la situation du pays. On examinera donc la façon dont le rêve d'un projet collectif de nation (et d'une avant-garde intégrée) a été construit et ensuite dissous, en pleine crise politique, et comment cela a influencé les artistes et les critiques de l'époque. The crisis of the object : transgressing formal paradigms "At last we can kick a work of art !" exclaimed the art critic Mário Pedrosa when faced with Lygia Clark's Obras moles [Soft Works], "sculptures" made of rubber, which could take the most unusual shapes when handled.
