Geraldo de Barros (1923-1998) was a painter, photographer, graphic and product designer. He was experimenting with new forms and aesthetics during the 1940s. In 1952 he founded the Ruptura Group where excessive formalism was the core of their ideals. Barros believed that it was his task to educate the taste of the masses.
