''Constructed Dialogues: Concrete, Geometric, and Kinetic Art from the Latin American Art Collection''
The modern world is reflected in abstract shapes and color patterns in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston’s new exhibit ''Constructed Dialogues: Concrete, Geometric, and Kinetic Art from the Latin American Art Collection.'' Many Latin American artists of the 20th century embraced avant-garde styles as they worked to reflect their rapidly changing reality, and the practice resulted in a vast repository of abstract work from Uruguay, Venezuela and Brazil.
