Grupo Ruptura was an organization formed in Brazil by artists who sought to break away from traditional naturalist painting in favor of geometric abstract art. In the early 1950s, the group published the Ruptura Manifesto, advocating for new art for a new country. The manifesto emphasized a departure from the past and a commitment to innovation, aligning with the modernist vision of Brazil as a forward-looking nation.
