Biografia:

Geraldo de Barros Pereira was a Brazilian painter and photographer born on February 27, 1923, in São Paulo, Brazil. He passed away on April 17, 1998. De Barros was a leader of the concrete art movement in Brazil and co-founded Grupo Ruptura. He was known for his trailblazing work in experimental abstract photography and modernism.
