A profusion of mid-century artistic institutional exchanges between Argentina and Brazil makes a study of the trajectories of abstraction in these two countries particularly valuable. Examining the work of artists such as Max Bill, Lygia Clark, Waldemar Cordeiro, and Tomás Maldonado, author María Amalia García rewrites the artistic history of the period and proposes a novel reading of the cultural dialogue between Argentina and Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBooks in the\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ucpress.edu\/series\/solaa\/studies-on-latin-american-art\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.ucpress.edu\/series\/solaa\/studies-on-latin-american-art\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eStudies on Latin American Art\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eseries encompass studies of art history and cultural practices emerging from Central and South America, the Caribbean, and the Latin American diaspora in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
