Concretism, or Concrete Art, is an abstract art style that originated in the early twentieth century as a reaction to the devastation of the First World War. This style emphasizes the use of geometric forms, color, and lines, with no hidden motives or feeling attached to it. Visual representation did not exist prior to Concretism, so artists were desperate to create an international visual dialect linguistically founded on the principles of mathematics and abstraction. Art that was created during this time was very objective and logical, peaking in popularity in the years 1930 to 1940 particularly in Europe and South America. Artists o Lygia Clark and Max Bill were associated with this movement, as his personality helped shape the art and visual structure in question. Each of them had different approaches regarding color and form which gave birth to a variety of distinctive shapes that construct one whole. Concrete Art possesses an absence of emotion, thus allowing the viewer to engage with its visual appeal and seek meaning behind the combination of shapes used. The goal of Concrete Art is to sever all possible connections the viewer could draw from a linked sense of subject, expression or feeling, aiming for the audience's appreciation of the artist's skills and bare fundamentals of the artwork.
