About this Item

November 1951, 8 pp. Perceptismo: Teorico y Polemico Number 3 Perceptismo, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1950-1953. 403 x 292 mm, b&w newspaper periodical edited by Raul Lozza, whose work recently featured in the major Royal Academy exhibition Radical Geometry (London, summer 2014). In 1947, Lozza was co-founder of the 'Asociación Arte Concreto Invención', one of the first realisations of abstract art within the Argentinian avant-garde; before creating his own movement, 'Perceptism', which championed the unity of form and colour. Perceptismo - the movement's journal - stands as an important concrete art periodical of the 1950s: it became a critical platform for Lozza's art-theoretical standpoint, as well as the movement's geometric works, and their relationship to the history of modern art. Other members of the movement and contributors to the periodical include Lozza's brother Rembrandt V.D. Lozza and the art critic Abraham Haber. Issue 3 (November 1951, 8 pp.): essay by Lozza ('La Neuva Estructura: De La Pintura Perceptista'), with illustrated works by Seurat, Malevich, Juan Gris, Torres-Garcia and Lozza; essay by V.D. Lozza (Raul's brother), with illustrated works by Matisse, R.Lozza, Van Doesberg and Moholy-Nagy et al; essay by Haber ('Matematica y Fisica: en la Nueva Pintura'), with illustrated works by Delauney, Moholy-Nagy, G. Balla, V.D. Lozza and Braque et al. Condition: near fine.
