The Concrete and Neo-Concrete Movements
Concrete Art: Joined the Concrete art movement in the early 1950s, embracing geometric shapes and materiality.

Livro do tempo (Book of Time) (1961–63): Consisted of 365 three-dimensional units representing each day of the year.
Neoconcrete Ballets (late 1950s): Performance pieces involving dancers in colored costumes, exploring movement and space.
