Amadeo Azar1 editions

Amadeo Azar is interested in the visual languages of modernism to the extent that they embody certain sets of beliefs and visions of the world and its future. He focuses on the architectural and avant-garde currents of the first half of the 20th century, exploring how they related to and influenced political and social movements in Latin America. At the same time, he explores how that utopian moment fell apart as it came up against local circumstances, leading them to fall into dystopia. To carry out his works, Amadeo Azar chooses images of Russian Suprematism and Constructivism, works by local concrete avant-garde artists such as Gyula Kocise or Raúl Lozza, or architectural projects ranging from Francisco Salamone D'Anna to Konstantin Stepánovich Mélnikov. Through different languages (watercolors, collages, installations and objects), the artist intervenes works by artists who blindly believed in the transformative potential of art, given that they are attracted both by the convictions of their creators and by the failure of the great utopias materialized in paintings, sculptures or monuments that knew how to imagine a better, freer and fairer future.
