Lygia Clark is primarily remembered for her participation in the Constructivist movement (leading
abstract artist at the forefront of the Neo-Concretist movement in Brazil), her innovative
approach to modular sculpture and the participatory art that made her a singularly pioneering
force in the world of international art.
This volume explores her production in the first decade of her career. Clark devoted her time to
painting, constantly experimenting and testing new techniques, becoming an important
avant-garde figure in Brazil. Her work in these early years oscillated between figuration and
abstraction, creating geometric, system-based paintings which will articulate the visual language
of her innovative career.
Lygia Clark (1920-1988) trained in Rio de Janeiro and Paris. Throughout years, Clark explored
different mediums, from painting and sculpture to participatory proposals, relational objects, and
therapeutic practice. She is recognised as a major reference for contemporary artists dealing
with the limits of conventional forms of art.
