Ivan Serpa

"Ivan Serpa (1923-73), an artist active in the avant-garde movement in Rio de Janeiro in the 1950s-60s, experimented with representational and abstract art through concretism and gestual expressionism. This catalog, a retrospective of his work 25 years after his premature death, sheds new light on a constantly questioning, intellectual artist. Includes many excellent color reproductions and a selected bibliography"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
