Manifesto Neoconcreto by Ferreira Gullar
Gullar’s manifesto advocated for a new kind of art that rejected the formalism of traditional concrete art and embraced a more humanistic, participatory approach. It called for a more organic, intuitive, and emotional art that engaged the senses and emotions of the viewer, serving as an important development in the histroy of South American geometric abstraction.
