The text reflects on the creation of the Cinechromatic Apparatus authored by the Brazilian Abraham Palatnik (1925-2020) and his participation in the 1st São Paulo International Biennial (1951), as well as the difficulty of Brazilian critics to dialogue with the unusual object endowed with light in movement, for distancing itself from the traditional artistic duopoly, although it did not fail to insinuate itself simultaneously as a sculptural and pictorial object. Although this pioneering kinetic object was still a tributary of the Space-Light Modulator (1930), by the Hungarian artist Moholy-Nagy, the Brazilian Abraham Palatnik showed boldness and perseverance when creating his first lumino-chromatic work in a country which, at the time, was very technologically outdated.
