Elbio Raúl Lozza[1] (October 27, 1911 – January 27, 2008) was an Argentine painter, draughtsman, designer, journalist, and theorist who was part of the concrete art movement.
They continued to face economic hardship as Lozza's mother suffered from deteriorating mental health issues, which led to her being institutionalized in 1920, after which she escaped and disappeared.
Lozza began to work as a painter and paper-cutter, setting up a business with his brothers that gave them economic stability.
[1] In 1929, the Lozza brothers moved to Buenos Aires to get further funding to study painting in Italy; however, the 1930 Argentine coup d'état made this impossible.
Lozza continued to be politically active, publishing illustrations and writings in the anti-fascist journal Socorro Rojo and La República.
At this time, he works as a painter, title broker, lingerie cutter, fabric stamper, and artist in the field of advertising.
