# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=neo-concrete-art+tropicalia
# Neo-Concrete Art carries the structure. Tropicália appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Neo-Concrete Art (Style, 1959–1966) and its accent from Tropicália (Style, mid-1960s–). Structural cues: Movable geometry; Bodily participation; Folds and hinges; Sensuous color and space. Accent cues, used sparingly: Blazing hybridity; Participatory space; Music and costume; The tropical image inverted. Composition: Design several valid states rather than one, reached by opening or turning. Type and lettering: Run type across the fold so it resolves only when opened. Let one material quality come from the second style: Sand, raw wood, cloth, temporary boards and primary paint left rough. Mood: Play, Exhilaration, Intimacy, Rebellion. Color: build on #ece5ce, #d95b37, #315f86 with a single accent drawn from #f0d33c, #d64b37, #2d756c. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Brazilian Avant-garde, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Neo-Concrete Art: Read it through the revolt against objectivism and the transformation the viewer's body performs, not as Brazilian geometric abstraction, and note that fragile moving parts go untouched and leave only ornament.
# - Tropicália: Reducing it to colorful tropical taste reproduces the tourist paradise it set out to criticize, so the Brazilian military regime, the favelas and the political mixing of music and art have to be read.
