Carmen Herrera

A living legend indeed #hyperallergic. If you like minimalism, here’s more as well as more of Carmen’s work.

Secundido Hernandez

Makes some large paintings. As someone who also has an academic background and is interested in an equilibrium between chaos and control, I’m in.

Maria Helena Vieira da Silva

Maria, who is no longer with us, stills gets respect for her contributions to abstraction, mostly because her unique approach was a melding of her early schooling with the French Cubist Fernand Léger with other modernist modes like Futurism and Constructivism.

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.
