The MADI Art Wall in Marshall, Texas





Definition: MADI is a modern art movement known for bright colors and bold geometric forms. In architecture, sculpture, and painting, MADI art uses abundant circles, waves, spheres, arches, spirals, and stripes.

The word MADI may have originated in letters taken from the name CarMelo ArDen QuIn, the Argentinan artist who founded the MADI movement in the 1940s. Or, perhaps the term comes from the English word MAD or from the Spanish description of the MADI movement: Movimiento Artistico De Invencion.

Pronunciation: mah-DEE

Cars: 1940 Packard 110 Business Coupe
1937 Packard 115C Convertible Coupe
