She challenged an overly rigid rationalism by moving toward more subjective, multi-sensorial modes of expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarking Pape's first solo exhibition in Germany, this richly illustrated book presents the artist's unusual creative power in all its breadth, drawing on a body of documents that is being published for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the backdrop of the tension between Brazil's vibrant avant-garde and the growing political repression through the military dictatorship (1964-1985), Pape's work reflects ethical and socio-political issues. It harnesses experimental explorations of not just metaphorical geometric but social space to create poetic manifestations of subtle resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEmphasizing the primacy of the sensorial experience of the viewers, Pape went as far as to declare them to be the actual creators of her works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461160747244,"sku":"9783775752251","price":155.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783775752251-lygia-pape-bilingual-edition.jpg?v=1774959764","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/lygia-pape-bilingual-edition-9783775752251","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
