Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Two exceptionally scarce primary-source documents by Argentine artist, theorist, and Arte Generativo advocate Ignacio Pirovano. Issued one year apart and here offered together, the pair forms a remarkably coherent statement of both the aesthetic and philosophical foundations of one of the most important movements in postwar Latin American geometric abstraction. Arte Generativo: Argentina 1959 is not merely a historical survey but a retrospective manifesto. Published in Buenos Aires in 1967, it traces the origins and development of Arte Generativo, positioning the movement within an international lineage extending from Constructivism, Concrete Art, Mondrian, Max Bill, Vasarely, Gabo, Moholy-Nagy, and others. Particularly significant are the concluding statements by Eduardo Mac Entyre, Miguel Ángel Vidal, Ramón Baldez Gorlero, and Víctor Magariños, transforming the publication into a foundational movement document and an important piece of primary-source scholarship on Argentine abstraction. Una Nueva Dimensión de la Idea de Cultura is the separately printed text of a lecture delivered by Pirovano at the Ateneo de la República in Buenos Aires on November 4, 1966, as stated on the final page. Here Pirovano expands the principles underlying Arte Generativo into an ambitious theory of culture itself, examining the relationships between culture, politics, economics, education, society, science, and national identity. Rather than a narrowly aesthetic tract, it proposes a comprehensive vision of cultural organization and modernization, revealing the broader intellectual framework that informed the movement. Neither pamphlet appears in commerce. Una Nueva Dimensión de la Idea de Cultura is represented by a single institutional holding at the Museum of Modern Art New York Library, while Arte Generativo appears absent from OCLC. Both pamphlets 8vo, approximately 8.5" x 6.5", printed wrappers with gathered folded leaves inside.Modestly produced for limited circulation, both survive as fugitive documents from the Argentine avant-garde. Together they constitute a rare and significant documentary archive of the theoretical foundations of Arte Generativo and the wider intellectual ambitions of one of its most articulate proponents.
