Carlos Cruz-Diez

I felt like I’d seen Carlos’s work before seeing the first piece below in #surmoderno. A little internet searching turned up some things that… yeah, I’m sure I’ve seen these in popular culture, definitely the ones in Houston. His work focused (he’s no longer with us) on the kinetic energy of color particularly the #moiré effect.

Jesus Rafael Soto

Jesus was the source (#rip) for a couple of the gems in the stellar #SurModerno at #MOMA. Mad snaps to the museum for focusing on the breadth of Modernism (I too have a love of Concretist artists like Lygia and Virginia)- it makes the import of the aesthetic response to the epoch more rich. Amazing work in this show of which I’ll share more.
