Quadrado Convexo 1956

"Quadrado Convexo" (1956) by Brazilian artist Almir Mavignier, is an example of concrete art. The piece showcases a bright red background, and within it, a square grid filled with tiny gold dots. The grid is interrupted by two distinct shapes, one larger and one smaller, also formed by the gold dots. This minimal composition exemplifies the principles of geometric abstraction, focusing on pure form and color. Mavignier's exploration of dot patterns and geometric shapes reflects the influence of concrete art, a movement that emphasizes mathematical precision and the elimination of emotional expression.
