This important and welcome volume is the first English-language
anthology of writings on Latin American modern art of the twentieth
century. The book includes some fifty seminal essays and documents
- including statements, interviews, and manifestoes by artists -
that encompass the broad diversity of this emerging field. Many of
these materials are difficult to access and some are translated
here for the first time. Together the selections explore the
breadth and depth of Latin American modern art as well as its
distinctive evolution apart from American and European art history.
Included in this collection are fascinating ideas and insights on
the impact of the avant-garde in the 1920s, the Mexican mural
movement, Surrealism and other fantasy-based styles, modern
architecture, geometric and optical art, concrete and neo-concrete
art, and political conceptualism. For students and scholars of
Latin American art, the volume offers an invaluable collection of
primary and secondary sources.
