    Ivan Serpa was a key figure within the Brazilian post-war constructivist avant-garde. He first began painting in the abstract geometric genre in 1947 when, together with fellow artists Almir Mavignier, Abraham Palatnik and the art critic Mario Pedrosa, he worked as an art therapy tutor in the Engenho de Dentro Psychiatric Hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Astonished by the expressive power and 'authenticity' of the patients' artwork, this group of artists found new approaches for their own production in constructiveoriented art. Serpa's geometric work attracted attention during the first edition of the São Paulo Biennial in 1951, where he was awarded the young painter prize. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s he worked as an artist while also holding a critical role as an art educator. Serpa's open classes took place at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio, transforming it into a progressive alternative to the then-conservative art schools. He had a fundamental role in the formation of many significant artists over the period, including the Oiticica brothers and, from 1960 onwards, many who would become involved in the new figuration group, such as Anna Maria Maiolino. Antonio Manuel is another important artist who emerged in the 1960s and acknowledges Serpa's significance, both through artist's statements and artworks produced in homage.
