Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. 403 x 292 mm, b&w newspaper periodical. May 1952, 8 pp. Perceptismo: Teorico y Polemico Numbers 1,3,4,5 and 6, Perceptismo, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1950-1953. 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.
