Description: "Oiticica often said that his pieces were nonprogrammed programs or 'programs in progress.' He represents the most fertile example of experimentalism in Brazilian art from 1950s-70s. Favaretto's approach to his work combines broad information with deep esthetic evaluations of Oiticica's paintings, environmental art, audio-visual and cinematic experiments, special structures, behavioral propositions from the delirious to conceptual lucidity, to his highly personal reinvention of 20th-century art. Details Oiticica's seminal influence on Brazilian postmodernism. Includes valuable bibliography and many illustrations in b/w and color. The most comprehensive study of the artist to date"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
