Did You Know?

Like many Latin American artists associated with kinetic art, Hugo Rodolfo Demarco spent much of his career in Paris.

Description

Hugo Rodolfo Demarco aligned himself with kinetic art, a movement that spread across Latin America in the decades after World War II. Rather than focusing on representation or abstraction, these artists used bright colors and eye-bending forms to suggest movement and engage the viewer through visual perception. In this print, Demarco created dense geometric patterns of colored squares that suggest three dimensionality.
