The author focuses mainly on Argentina and Brazil due to the constant and abundant artistic-institutional exchange between the two countries, and to the shared emphasis on abstraction, which was viewed as an active force in the project of sociocultural transformation that a range of sectors in both countries were advocating. Unlike earlier studies of the growth of abstraction, which have addressed it in a single nation, this book proposes a regional approach for the sake of a broader analysis of how abstract poetics took shape in a number of South American cities"--Provided by publisher.
