Lygia Pape
Lygia Pape (7 April 1927 – 3 May 2004) was an influential Brazilian artist, active in both the Concrete and Neo-Concretist movements in Brazil.
Life and work
Along with Helio Oiticica and Lygia Clark, she sought to expand the territory of contemporary art to include aspects of interaction, though, like the Concretists, she remained opposed to any kind of representation in art.
From 1972 to 1985, Lygia Pape taught semiotics at the School of Architecture at the Universidade Santa Ursula in Rio de Janeiro, and was appointed professor in the School of Fine Arts of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro in 1983 as well.
Lygia Pape died on 3 May 2004 in Rio de Janeiro at age of 77.[1]
