"Lygia Clark was one of the leading artists of the Brazilian Neo-Concrete movement, which included poetry as well as fine arts. She skillfully plays with the boundaries of plastic art and literature and unites them in her work Livro-Obra. The geometric fragments that seem to break out of the paper make a work of art (obra) out of a book (livro) and achieves a new objectivity that seduces the viewers to indulge in the tactile stimuli."
