在菲德尔·卡斯特罗(Fidel Castro)将古巴转变为一个共产主义国家之前的十年里,人们常常把哈瓦那描述成一个拉丁拉斯维加斯-一个幸运的少数人可以享受它的国际游乐场。但是1952年由美国支持的独裁者FulgencioBatista领导的军事政变,以及随之而来的美国旅游业的涌入,带来了民族主义情绪的激增。
在这种背景下,一种新的视觉语言正在扎根。Diez Pintores Concretos(“十个混凝土画家”)是由11位艺术家组成的一组艺术家为应对动荡的政治和文化氛围而发展起来的,它是一个有影响力但短暂存在的群体(从1959年到1961年才活跃起来),它创造了硬边几何抽象作品,寻求一种普遍的、乌托邦式的美学。
受许多团体成员在欧洲和整个南美的时间影响-特别是Wifredo Arcay、Mario Carre o、Pedro de Oraá和LolóSolde比利亚-古巴的混凝土主义是从新塑主义、建构主义、至上主义和后立体主义的哲学和美学中产生的。然而,该小组并不认为他们的工作遵循同样的规定;相反,他们的非参照构图完全建立在使用塑料元素的智力构造中,这些构造将它们简化为简单的平面和颜色。提供了一种新的,更多的政治和社会参与的大脑形式,Diez Pintores Concretos将抽象从纯粹的视觉推向概念和现象学。
由于他们的非政治美学,洛斯戴兹与巴蒂斯塔政权的关系在很大程度上是友好的,但在菲德尔·卡斯特罗1959年的革命之后,由于早期激进的联想,抽象变得更加可疑。因此,许多抽象和具体的画家逃离了这个国家,1961年,洛斯迪埃兹在他们的主要展览空间关闭后,永久解散了,这是一个艺术家经营的空间,由索尔德维拉和德奥拉于1957年在哈瓦那共同创建,以促进抽象艺术的发展。
本月,古巴混凝土集团的绘画和雕塑综合展览在伦敦的大卫·兹沃纳画廊开幕。展览由画廊副馆长鲁道夫·冯·霍夫曼斯塔尔(Rodolphe Von Hofmannsthal)主持,展出的作品包括桑德达里的一些实验性和经验性动态雕塑,他称之为“可转换结构”(Estructuras Transformable)或“可转换结构”(Transform Able Structure);索尔德维拉的动力学雕塑、硬边绘画和几何拼贴画;阿尔凯(Arcay)的几幅作品。20世纪50年代初,阿尔凯曾在巴黎与特奥·范德斯堡(Theo Van Doesburg)、费南德·列格(Fernand Léger)、索尼娅·德劳奈(Sonia Delaunay)、罗伯特·
Set up by a group of 11 artists in response to the turbulent political and cultural climate of 1950s Cuba, Diez Pintores Concretos was an influential but short-lived group that was only active from 1959 to 1961.

The group created hard-edged, geometric abstract works that sought a universal, utopian aesthetic. Pictured: Repercusión por el color, by Loló Soldevilla, 1957. Photography courtesy David Zwirner, New York/London and TRESART
Influenced by the time many of the group members spent abroad in Europe and across South America, Cuban concretism sprang out of the philosophies and aesthetics of neo-plasticism, constructivism, suprematism, and post-cubism.

The group did not consider their work to follow the same dictates of abstract art. Instead their non-referential compositions were based exclusively in intellectually formulated constructs using plastic elements, reduced to simple planes and colours.

The group disbanded in 1961, shortly after the closure of their main exhibition space due to political pressures. Pictured left: Columna Concreta 2, by José Mijares, 1957.
