This book presents an audacious account of the ways in which the
arts in the Americas were modernized during the first half of the
twentieth century. Rather than viewing modernization as a steady
progression from one 'ism' to another, Edward J. Sullivan adopts a
comparative approach, drawing his examples from North America, the
Caribbean, Central and South America. By considering the Americas
in this hemispheric sense he is able to tease out many stories of
art and focus on the ways in which artists from different regions
not only adapted and experimented with visual expression, but also
absorbed trans-national as well as international influences. He
shows how this rich diversity is most evident in the various forms
of abstract art that emerged throughout the Americas and which in
turn had an impact on art throughout the world.
