Hélio Oiticica (1937–80) was one of the most innovative Brazilian artists of his generation and has come to be acknowledged as a significant figure in the development of contemporary art. Among his achievements was the original and uncompromising use of colour that was central to his practice, and this is the first large-scale exhibition focusing on this key element in his work. Featuring more than 150 works, the exhibition includes several key series from 1955 onwards, some of which have not been seen publicly for more than thirty years.

Josef Alber

Another Bauhaus student who I admire. When I see modernist paintings like this and think of the timeline that we was painting them on it just blows my mind.

His work has influenced many artists, including those of abstract, Op and conceptual art styles. Although he is best known for his work as an abstract painter he was also a furniture designer, photographer, typographer and printmaker.

A huge collection of his work can be seen at the Albers Foundation website.
