In this classic survey, now updated and with full-colour images
throughout, Edward Lucie-Smith introduces the art of Latin America
from 1900 to the present day. He discusses in detail major figures
such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, as well as dozens of less
well-known artists. Those who spent their lives in exile, and
artists from Europe and the US who lived in South America, such as
Leonora Carrington, are all included in this broad, comprehensive
view. The artists featured here have sought for indigenous roots
and a local tradition; explored abstraction, expressionism and new
media (video, installation, performance); entered dialogue with
European and North American movements, while insisting on reaching
a wide popular audience for their work; and created an energetic,
innovative and very varied art scene across the continent today. A
new chapter extends the discussion into the twenty-first century,
summarizing key trends and most notable figures of the last two
decades. A constant theme is the embrace of the experimental and
the new by artists across Latin America.
