Neo-Concrete

The Neo-Concrete movement was a splinter group of Brazilian concrete art of the 1950s that sought to explore not only the limits of concrete art, but also of art in general. They opposed the increasing rationalist interpretation of Concrete Art and made it clear that too much leeway was being given to theory and that art was being confused with science. The representatives of Neoconcretism broke away from the schematic and entrenched forms of abstraction and advocated the idea of the successive transfer of painting into three-dimensional space. They were convinced that all the senses are needed to experience a work of art and that the viewer's participation is required.
