Waldemar Cordeiro (1925–1973) was an Italian-born Brazilian artist, theorist, and landscape designer who played a pivotal role in shaping 20th-century Brazilian art. After relocating to Brazil in 1946, he became a leading figure in the Concrete Art movement, co-founding Grupo Ruptura in 1952. This collective sought to break away from traditional figurative art, advocating for a rational, objective visual language grounded in geometric abstraction. Cordeiro's commitment to integrating art with technological advancements led him to pioneer computer-generated art in Latin America. Collaborating with physicist Giorgio Moscati, he utilized an IBM 360/44 computer to create works like "Derivadas de uma Imagem" (1969), marking a significant intersection between art and digital technology. Beyond his artistic endeavors, Cordeiro contributed extensively to art criticism and landscape architecture, emphasizing the democratization of art and its accessibility to broader audiences. His multifaceted legacy continues to influence contemporary discussions on the convergence of art, technology, and society.
