About

Why this artist matters now

Willys de Castro was a Brazilian painter and sculptor working in geometric abstraction from the 1950s onward, developing strictly ordered compositions grounded in constructivist principles. His practice centered on precise color relationships and non-representational form within the broader Latin American modernist movement. De Castro's work emerged during the postwar period and established him as a significant figure in Brazilian geometric abstraction.
