Károly Tamkó Sirató

Charles Sirato (26 January 1905, in Újvidék – 1 January 1980, in Budapest) was a Hungarian poet, art theorist, and translator. He most famously authored the Dimensionist manifesto.

Dimensionist manifesto In 1936 in Paris, Charles Tamkó Sirató published his Manifeste Dimensioniste, which described how the Dimensionist tendency has led to: Literature leaving the line and entering the plane. Painting leaving the plane and entering space. Sculpture stepping out of closed, immobile forms. …The artistic conquest of four-dimensional space, which to date has been completely art-free. The manifesto was signed by many prominent modern artists worldwide. Yervand Kochar, Hans Arp, Francis Picabia, Kandinsky, Robert Delaunay and Marcel Duchamp amongst others added their names in Paris, then a short while later it was endorsed by artists abroad including László Moholy-Nagy, Joan Miró, David Kakabadze, Alexander Calder, and Ben Nicholson.
