Book Synopsis
Circa 1960, artists working at the margins of the international art world breached the frame of canvas painting and ruptured the institutional frame of art. This title shows how artists and critics in Brazil and Japan brought modern painting to a point of crisis that paved the way for the radical experiments of the 1960s generation.
