More Description
This beautifully illustrated book salutes the recent acquisition by The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, of the Adolpho Leirner Collection of Brazilian Constructive Art, one of the most important and complete collections in the world devoted to modern Latin American art in the 1950s and 1960s. Including works by C#65533;cero Dias, Samson Flexor, Lygia Clark, and members of the Grupo Ruptura of S#65533;o Paulo and the Grupo Frente of Rio de Janeiro, Leirner's renowned collection celebrates its artists as important visual architects of Brazilian Modernism.
