Cruz-Diez
Boulton, Alfredo
Fundación Eugenio Mendoza, 1975, 230 p.
Published in 1975, this book dedicated to Cruz-Diez explores the evolution of his artistic practices and his contribution to contemporary art.
Through detailed analyses, Boulton examines the theoretical foundations of the artist’s work. He elaborates on his innovative approach to color and perception, showing how the artist’s experiments with chromatic phenomena have redefined the relationship between the viewer and the artwork.
The fundamental basis of Cruz-Diez's kineticism is directly associated with color in relation to space and form. The dimension, the format of his designs, the linear pattern he makes use of, as well as the spaces he uses, are all subjected to a harmonic model. The dimension of the work corresponds strictly to a mathematical formulation based on reasons of visual effects, in the proportion in which color can be affected.
