"Although not stated in the book, this collection of short digressions on abstraction and cubism by one of the pre-eminent theoreticians on contemporary art in Argentina had to have been originally written during the 1960s. For the same reason, it serves as a reference for more radical ideas about what the course of visual arts could be, developed much later by Romero Brest before his death in 1989"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
