"Lygia Clark was one of the most significant avant-garde artists in Brazil after WWII. Her ideas continue to stimulate younger artists, critics, art historians, and the art world at large. Thanks to her influence, painting, sculpture, art therapy, and wearable art experienced new prospects in Brazil and abroad. This in-depth study covers all aspects of her creativity. A chronology, list of works in national and international collections, bibliography, and illustrations complete this welcome publication"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
