Dimensionist manifesto
Dimensionist manifesto
In 1936 in Paris, Charles Tamkó Sirató published his Manifeste Dimensioniste, which described how the Dimensionist tendency has led to: • Literature leaving the line and entering the plane. • Painting leaving the plane and entering space. • Sculpture stepping out of closed, immobile forms. • …The artistic conquest of four-dimensional space, which to date has been completely art-free. The manifesto was signed by many prominent modern artists worldwide. Yervand Kochar, Hans Arp, Francis Picabia, Kandinsky, Robert Delaunay and Marcel Duchamp amongst others added their names in Paris, then a short while later it was endorsed by artists abroad including László Moholy-Nagy, Joan Miró, David Kakabadze, Alexander Calder, and Ben Nicholson.
