Grupo Madí
Appearance
Grupo Madí was a group of artists in Argentina, founded in 1946 by Gyula Kosice, Rhod Rothfuss, and Arden Quin.[1] The origin of the name is not clear, but it could be an acronym for Movimento de Arte De Invención (because the group was against static arts) or Marxisme/Matérialisme Dialectique, but it could also be a nonsense word.[2]
History
The Grupo Madí was one of two prominent groups of artists pursuing abstract art in Argentina. The other was Arte Concreto-Invencíon, or AACI, founded in 1945.[3]
