/// Abstraction-Creation ///

Group of artists founded in 1931 by Georges Vantongerloo and Auguste Herbin, and active until 1936. In order to perpetuate the spirit of the constructivist group Cercle et Carré of Michel Seuphor, Vantongerloo brings together Kupka, Gleizes and the sculptor Beothy. More than 400 artists from all countries, including Mondrian, joined them. Abstraction-Création sought to promote a reasoned art, adapted to a technological society, and published a review.
