Jóvenes y modernos de los años 50

About this book

"Young ones and moderns of the 1950's" is a catalogue that comprises the artwork of a group of Argentinean artists who invented new realities to artistically interpret the post-war, the consolidation and expansion of their abstract and concrete art proposals and their differences with the rupture groups of the 1940's. "The proposals of these "Young ones and moderns" can be presented in the framework of the group that promoted the language of abstract art, they spread it on the circuit and conveyed it through theoretical preparation and teaching" (Our translation) --P.11. The present catalog comprises works from the art collection of Ignacio Pirovano (donated to the MAMBA in 1980) and other works from the same period. Pirovano was a cultural agent in charge of the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas (National Museum of Decorative Arts) between 1937 and 1956, member of many cultural associations and a high executive of the agro technical company Comte, S.A. The catalogue includes a selection of works by Alfredo Hlito, León Ferrari, Martín Blszko, Enio Iommi, Julio Le Parc, Joseph Albers, Kenneth Kemble, Alberto Greco, Libero Badii, Anita Payró, Luis Felipe Noé, Grete Stern, Juan del Prete, amongst many more.
