Latin American Art

by Edward J. Sullivan

Latin American Art Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This is the first comprehensive survey of an important and increasingly popular field. Because each of the contributors is an expert on his or her own national art, it is also the first to present a genuinely Latin American viewpoint. Seventeen scholars, critics and curators provide an exciting and challenging new assessment of twentieth-century Latin American art. The wider public and scholars alike will welcome the full and authoritative treatment of the different histories and cultural traditions that have given each country its own character. Major artists such as Wifredo Lam, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Fernando Botero are seen in a wider context, and the exploration of the rich and important heritage of previously overlooked countries such as Ecuador, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Paraguay and Bolivia will be a revelation to many. Springing from complex cultural roots, Latin American art is fresh, varied and often startling in its originality. Its range and quality are here represented in over 300 outstanding images.

Synopsis:

A comprehensive survey of the important and increasingly popular field of Latin American art. This text contains contributions from 17 experts who describe and assess the art of his or her own country. Artists such as Wilfredo Lam, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Fernando Botero are featured.
