Judith Lauand

[3]: 380 [7] After graduating from college, Lauand worked as a teacher in Araraquara and produced artwork on the side, which at that time was in the style of expressionist figurative paintings.

[6] In 1954, she worked as a gallery monitor at the São Paulo Art Biennial, which led to her connecting with fellow artists who were part of the concrete art movement, Grupo Ruptura: Anatol Władysław, Geraldo de Barros, Leopoldo Haar, Lothar Charoux, Luís Sacilotto, Kazmer Féjer, and Waldemar Cordeiro.

[8][9] Lauand's work is rooted in the abstract art from the 1950s, with a movement in 1954 to a more rigid and analytical approach.

Starting in the 1960s, Lauand began incorporating non-traditional materials like paper clips and other items into her pieces, making the surfaces uneven and creating different effects.

As a painter, she created works using acrylic, enamel, oil, and tempera paints, incorporating gouaches and/or collages.
