Manuel Espinosa

Manuel Espinosa was an Argentine painter. He was a key figure of Argentine geometric abstraction and Concrete Art. After an early surreal-leaning phase, a 1943 encounter with Joaquín Torres-García pushed him toward rigorous non-figuration; in the mid-1940s he co-founded the Asociación Arte Concreto-Invención in Buenos Aires. His mature work explores serial progressions of simple forms to create optical vibration and luminous depth.
