The Affinity of Neoconcretism

"This book fills an important gap in contemporary art historiography. It brings together significant findings regarding the postwar art movement, which is today still too much dominated by European and North American references."--Ricardo Basbaum, artist, Professor, Department of Art, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil "Mariola V. Alvarez's study brings new objects into the dialogue on Neoconcretism and offers novel readings of familiar ones, weaving in sociopolitical context to complicate the understanding of Neoconcretism in relation to Brazil's concurrent drive to modernization."--Lynda Klich, author of The Noisemakers: Estridentismo, Vanguardism, and Social Action in Postrevolutionary Mexico
