It was instrumental in improving the concept of abstract art in France during the Early 1950s. Its use in the expression of political ideologies in South America during the Early 1950s was quite common, as it was seen as the main way to show support for the changing political climate.

Pedro de Oraá was a Cuban contemporary visual artist, best known for his contributions to the Cuban abstract movement of Concretism in the 1950s and his involvement in the group Los Once in 1956 and the co-founding of Los Diez Pintores Concretos known simply as, Los Diez with fellow artists Loló Soldevilla and Sandú Daríe, in 1957. He was an art critic, poet, designer, translator, and the beneficiary of many awards such as the Distinction for National Culture in 1995, the National Book Design Prize in 2011 and the National Prize for Plastic Arts in 2015.
Los Diez Pintores Concretos was a mid 20th Century Cuban avant-garde visual art collective centered upon the strong emphasis on geometric abstraction at the core of Concretism. The group existed from 1959 until 1961 and its members included Pedro de Oraá, Loló Soldevilla, Sandú Darié, Pedro Carmelo Álvarez López, Wifredo Arrcay Ochandarena, Salvador Zacarías Corratgé Ferrera, Luis Darío Martínez Pedro, José María Mijares, Rafael Soriano López, and José Ángel Rosabal Fajardo. The group's activities were centered on the Galeria Color-Luz, founded in Havana by Soldevilla and de Oraá in 1957. Their approach to geometric abstraction was part of a broader resurgence of concretism in Latin American in the late 1940s and 1950s; through Darié, Los Diez had links to the Argentine Grupo Madí. Though Los Diez "affirm[ed] their work as a transformative intervention into - not a reflection of, nor an escape from - the world," the group "struggled to advance their social manifesto."
