Concrete art (English spelling)

Japanese: コンクリート・アート(英語表記)concrete art
Concrete art (English spelling)
It is translated as "concrete art." This term was proposed by Van Doesburg in 1930 in response to the concept of abstract art, which was already vague at the time. His assertion that artworks are not imitations of natural forms but are human creations, and that nothing is more concrete and real than a single line, a single color, or a single plane, resonated with Arp and others, but it was in Switzerland after World War II that the term came to refer to a school of art. In 1944, the Concrete Art exhibition was held in Basel, and the magazine "Abstract/Concrete" was launched in Zurich.

Japanese:
具体芸術と訳す。1930年,そのころすでにあいまいになっていた抽象芸術という概念に対してファン・ドゥースブルフが提案した言葉。芸術作品は自然形態の模倣再現ではなく,人間の創造物であり,一本の線,一つの色彩,一枚の平面ほど具体的でリアルなものはないという彼の主張は,アルプらの共鳴も得たが,この言葉が一つの流派を指すようになったのは,第2次大戦後のスイスにおいてである。44年バーゼルでコンクリート・アート展が開かれ,チューリヒでは《抽象/具体》誌が創刊された。
