Life

Pre-1930

Dimensionist manifesto

In 1936 in Paris, Charles Tamkó Sirató published his Manifeste Dimensioniste,[1] which described how

the Dimensionist tendency has led to:

1. Literature leaving the line and entering the plane.
2. Painting leaving the plane and entering space.
3. Sculpture stepping out of closed, immobile forms.
4. …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.[1]
