Museum of Geometric and MADI Art - Museums in Dallas

Madi is a movement founded by Carmelo Arden Quin. During the 1940’s Arden Quin joined intellectual writers and artists in Buenos Aires. In 1944, after working on it for several years, he brought out the literary and artistic journal Arturo, in which he applied the dialectic materialism of art. The concept behind MADI is more than just an assembly of colored shapes, however – the art is universally accessible and appealing, and the more it is studied, the more multifaceted it becomes.The artists represented in the permanent collection at The Museum of Geometric and MADI Art cover not only geographical but chronological boundaries as well. Artists from Europe, Russia, Japan, South America and the United States are well represented in the museum.
