Carmelo Arden Quin

The founder in 1946 of the MADI movement, an abbreviation of Dialectical Materialism in Latin America, Arden Quin is a crucial figure in the 20th century art. His work constitutes an unavoidable stage between the Constructivist Art of the twenties and the Minimal Art of the seventies. From 1936 his innovations have included breaking the rectangular frame and the surface plane of the painting. Established since 1947 in Paris, he has incessantly pursued his research into the painting as an open form. He is the inventor of indefinite and moving plane forms which, when mixed with a play of pure colors and combined with wood, cardboard and Plexiglas, have enabled him to create object paintings, playful geometric constructions.
