This beautifully illustrated book salutes the recent acquisition by The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, of the Adolpho Leirner Collection of Brazilian Constructive Art, one of the most important and complete collections in the world devoted to modern Latin American art in the 1950s and 1960s. Including works by Cicero Dias, Samson Flexor, Lygia Clark, and members of the Grupo Ruptura of Sao Paulo and the Grupo Frente of Rio de Janeiro, Leirner's renowned collection resonates with the legacy of the international Constructive Art movement and celebrates its artists as important visual architects of Brazilian Modernism.
