Lygia Pimentel Lins (5 October 1920 – 25 April 1988), better known as Lygia Clark, was a Brazilian artist best known for her painting and installation work.
She was often associated with the Brazilian Constructivist movements of the mid-20th century and the Tropicalia movement.
Along with Brazilian artists Amilcar de Castro, Franz Weissmann, Lygia Pape and poet Ferreira Gullar, Clark co-founded the Neo-Concrete movement.
Throughout her career, Clark discovered ways for museum-goers (who would later be referred to as "participants") to interact with her art works.
She sought to redefine the relationship between art and society.
Clark's works dealt with inner life and feelings.
