Planos em superfície modulada (estudo) [Planes on Modulated Surface (study)]

Lygia Clark was a member of the Rio de Janeiro-based Grupo Frente. Between 1954 and 1956, this influential alliance of Concrete artists engaged in material, technical, and spatial experimentation through the use of geometric abstraction. Planos em superfície modulada was an important series for Clark. In this study, she creates geometric forms out of cut cardstock, erasing the distinction between figure and background and generating an ambiguous space. Within the decade, Clark would become a leader of the Neo-Concrete art movement, pivoting toward three-dimensional and participatory experiments.
