Rectangle Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rectangle Group (Spanish: Grupo Rectángulo) was a Chilean artist group active from 1955 until the early 1960s.[1][2][3] The group was the first abstract-geometric and concrete art movement in Chile.[3]

The Rectangle Group was founded in 1955[a] by Luis Droguett, Gustavo Poblete Catalán [es], Ramón Vergara Grez [es] and Waldo Vila at the Arts Faculty of the University of Chile.[1] The group aimed to develop abstraction through the exploration of geometric forms, and to eliminate the referential link between art and reality.[1][2]

In 1965[b], the groups successor the Form and Space Movement (Spanish: Movimiento Forma y Espacio) was founded.[1][6]
