Escritos Preulmianos

Resumen del Libro

Méndez Mosquera and Perazzo have selected 18 revealing articles (including a short interview) written by Maldonado before joining the Hochschule für Gestaltung de Ulm in West Germany in 1954 as a professor and vice dean. Maldonados eurocentric ideas influenced the new generation of Argentine artists, graphic designers, and architects between mid-1940s and mid-1950s. He became a seminal figure in the Argentine avant-garde and an active member of the Buenos Aires Concrete art movement. This collection of his writings clarifies the many directions taken by Argentine art during the immediate postwar period –Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
