Alfredo Boulton (1908-95), art critic, historian and photographer, was one of 20th-century Venezuela's most prominent intellectuals. His large body of photographic work--focusing mostly on the people, landscapes, art and history of Venezuela--is little known, and yet no intellectual before Boulton had ever expressed Venezuela visually. This hardcover volume focuses specifically on Boulton the modernist artist through his photographic work from 1928 to 1944, which he collected in albums that he designed as tools for selecting and presenting images. With 50 full pages of albums and a selection of individual reproductions, Boulton Moderno offers a modern photographic vision of Venezuela. Texts by art critic Juan Manuel Bonet, curator Luis Perez-Oramas and curator Sofia Vollmer Maduro illuminate the context of Boulton's life and his prolific output.
Published in conjunction with a major retrospective of the work of
Brazilian painter, sculptor and performance artist Lygia Clark,
this publication presents a linear and progressive survey of the
artist's groundbreaking practice. Having trained with modern
masters from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s, Clark was at the
forefront of Constructivist and Neo-Concretist movements in Brazil
and fostered the active participation of the spectator through her
works. Examining Clark's output from her early abstract
compositions to the "biological architectures" and "relational
objects" she created late in her career, this is the most
comprehensive volume on the artist available in English. Three
sections based on key phases throughout her career--Abstraction,
Neo-Concretism and The Abandonment of Art--examine these critical
moments in Clark's production, anchor significant concepts or
constellations of works that mark a definitive step in her work,
and shed light on circumstances in her life as an artist. Featuring
a significant selection of previously unpublished archival texts of
Clark's personal writings, it is a vital source of primary
documentation for twentieth-century art history scholarship.
The tradition of portraiture in Latin America is astonishingly long and rich. For over 2,000 years, portraits have been used to preserve the memory of the deceased, bolster the social standing of the aristocracy, mark the deeds of the mighty, advance the careers of politicians, record rites of passage, and mock symbols of the status quo. This beautiful and wide-ranging book-the first to explore the tradition of portraiture in Latin America from pre-Columbian times to the present day-features some 200 works from fifteen countries. Retratos (Portraits) presents an engaging variety of works by such well-known figures as Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Fernando Botero, and Jose Campeche as well as stunning examples by anonymous and obscure artists. Distinguished contributors discuss the significance of portraits in ancient Mayan civilizations, in the world of colonial Iberians, in the political struggles of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and in a remarkable range of other times and locations. With a wealth of informative details and exquisite color illustrations, Retratos invites readers to appreciate Latin American portraits and their many meanings as never before.
