Author: Mathias Listl, Henrike Holsing and Theres Rohde (eds.)The term "concrete art" was officially first used by Theo van Doesburg in 1930 in his manifesto of the same name, but it's said he was applying it to his own works as early as 1924. Concrete art's 100th anniversary is a fitting opportunity to question today’s generation of young artists with a stylistic affinity to the movement in detail about their relationship to Concrete Art. What influence have the beginnings of the art movement had on their own visual work? Are its principles still relevant today?And does the same apply to the name? Their statements – in addition to a brief historical overview of the origins of Concrete Art – are a central element of this publication. ISBN 9783422802223.
