From “GARCIA ROSSI – LE PARC, I tempi di un’arte e di un’amicizia senza pause”.
Palazzo Ducale - Urbino (2003)
Between 1950 and 1957, Horacio García Rossi studied at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires, along with Hugo Demarco, Julio Le Parc, and Francisco Sobrino. In 1959, he moved to Paris, where he participated in the first Paris Biennial. In his earliest works, García Rossi explored the problem of multiplication of a form and the perception of movement in two-dimensional works, using only black, white, and gray. However, in the early-1960s, he began to introduce the use of projection screens and lighting into his structures.
«Horacio a été le sage du GRAV, il avait l’intelligence, le calme et l’humour nécessaires pour bien tenir ce rôle. Il n’avait pas envie comme d’autres, moi-même par exemple, d’agresser le spectateur ou de s’encombrer de lampes et de néons», écrivait François Morellet en 2010.
