Published for the first and last time in the summer of 1944, "Arturoʺ was a magazine specialized in abstract arts in Latin America. Financied in its totality by the artists, and coordinated by Hungarian artist Gyula Kosice, this single number was enough to create a new aesthetic proposal capable of inaugurating a movement that will later would be continued with the "Arte Madí" magazine. That single issue included reproductions of the works by leading member of the European abstract expressionism movement along with works by Tomas Maldonado and Joaquin Torres Garcia. The covers contained a reproduction of an original engraving by Tomás Maldonado with vignettes by Lidy Maldonado. This facsimile edition of the Espigas Foundation includes for the first time the complete translation into English of this emblematic cultural magazine.
