Lygia Clark

"Lygia Clark (1920-88) refused any esthetic or stylistic classification of her work. She accepted only the evaluations of those who understood the sensitivity that was necessary for her to create a painting or an attitude. Maria Alice Milliet is just such a careful reviewer. In this examination of Clark's entire body of work, Milliet is interested in Clark's dialectic, in the tension she experienced between the inside and the outside. An original interpretative contribution to a better understanding of this 'creative-recreative' seminal personality in Brazilian avant-garde from the 1950s-80s. Interviews, bibliograpy and b/w photographs and reproductions"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
