Forty key works and a critical essay introduce this undersung pioneer of the mid-century avant-garde in Eastern Europe Published with Centre Pompidou. This first volume in JRP Editions' new series on the artistic scenes of former Yugoslavia, published with Centre Pompidou, centers on the radical work of Ivo Gattin (1926-78). He pushed the language of Art Informel toward a "degree zero" of painting, before pursuing an extreme "matterism" defined by somber hues, free surfaces and the play of textures.
