Art of Latin America, 1900-1980
Author: Marta TrabaPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
When Marta Traba died in a plane crash outside Madrid on November 27, 1983, the art world lost one of its most distinguished - and most outspoken - contemporary critics. The focus of stormy controversy in the UK when she was denied residency by the Reagan administration because of her political views, Traba had been active for decades in the field of art criticism. She was on her way to a symposium in Bogota, where she and her husband, Angel Rama, were to be guests of honour, when she died. The manuscript of the present book was recovered after her death. In "Art of Latin America", Marta Traba offers new insights into the work of Latin America's most significant 20th-century artists. She argues, for instance, that the Mexican Muralist Movement - traditionally seen as a consequence of the Mexican Revolution - in fact reflected a new attitude toward art which had its origins in European Modernism. She shows how countries with significant numbers of European immigrants, such as Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, became centres of lively experimentation in matters of form, while countries with large Indian populations were more subject to the movement's political influence. She also examines the growing Latin American avant garde of the 1950s, and the subsequent reaction to it that led to a renewal of drawing and printmaking. Illustrated with more than 100 full-colour reproductions of some of the finest works of 20th-century Latin American art, this book should be of interest not only to art historians and students of Latin America, but to all with an interest in contemporary art.

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This bilingual book describes the numerous elements that have shaped the twentieth and twenty-first century art of Latin America. Beginning with the pre-Columbian cultures of Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean Islands, and following historical developments through today, the values and symbols of these early civilizations have remained a constant in much of Latin American art. The work gives a brief history of Latin American art, defines the modernist movements and trends that surfaced in Paris in the early twentieth century and traces the way Latin American artists adapted the forms to express their own national culture. The main section is a list of significant artworks, each accompanied by biographical details from the artist's life, an explanation of the work's subject matter and a discussion of the inspiration and meaning behind it. The work boasts a wide selection of illustrations, including three color inserts, and concludes with a bibliography.
Latin American Art Since 1900 (Third) (World of Art)
Author: Edward Lucie-SmithPublisher: Thames & Hudson
ISBN: 0500775842
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
An extraordinary synthesis of more than a century’s worth of art across Central and South America, Latin American Art Since 1900 covers everyone from popular figures such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, to a wide range of other artists who are less well-known outside Latin America. In this classic survey, now updated with full-color images throughout, Edward Lucie-Smith introduces the art of Latin America from 1900 to the present day. Lucie-Smith examines major artists such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, as well as dozens of less familiar Latin American artists and exiled artists from Europe and the United States who spent their lives in South America, such as Leonora Carrington. The author explains the political context for artistic development and sets the works in national, cultural, and international frameworks. Featured in this book are the artists who have searched for indigenous roots and local tradition; explored abstraction, expressionism, and new media; entered into dialogue with European and North American movements, while insisting on reaching a wide, popular audience for their work; and created an energetic, innovative, and varied art scene across the South American continent. With a new chapter that extends the discussion into the twenty-first century, a constant theme of Latin American Art Since 1960 is the embrace of the experimental and the new by artists across Latin America.
