The Other Transatlantic is attuned to the brief but historically
significant moment in the postwar period between 1950 and 1970 when
the trajectories of the Central and Eastern European art scenes on
the one hand, and their Latin American counterparts on the other,
converged in a shared enthusiasm for Kinetic and Op Art. As the
axis connecting the established power centers of Paris, London, and
New York became increasingly dominated by monolithic trends
including Pop, minimalism, and conceptualism another web of ideas
was being spun linking the hubs of Warsaw, Budapest, Zagreb, Buenos
Aires, Caracas, and Sao Paulo. These artistic practices were
dedicated to what appeared to be an entirely different set of
aesthetic concerns: philosophies of art and culture dominated by
notions of progress and science, the machine and engineering,
construction and perception. This book presents a highly
illustrated introduction to this significant transnational
phenomenon in the visual arts.

In this first comprehensive presentation of art from the 1990s in
Argentina, "Recovering Beauty" places the Centro Cultural Rojas
(CCR) at the core of this creative period. The CCR, or "El Rojas"
as it was later known, opened in 1989 as a venue for emerging
artists. The "El Rojas" artists epitomized a collective will to
move beyond a grim recent past by creating introspective narratives
that looked towards the ordinary as a source of inspiration.
Artists such as Feliciano Centurion, Sebastian Gordin, Jorge Gumier
Mier, Miguel Harte, Graciela Hasper, Benito Laren, Marcelo Pombo,
Cristina Schiavi and Omar Schiliro espoused conceptions of beauty,
color and fantasy, and the projection of psychology as artistic
expression. "Recovering Beauty" is the first sustained examination
of this fascinating moment in Argentine culture, which chimes with
trends towards the fantastical and the decorative in American art
of the late 1990s and 2000s.
