Synopsis

Visionary, inspired, and original, contemporary Latin American artists draw from influences near and far. This colorful survey, which features 178 carefully selected works, celebrates some of the most exciting modern Latin American artworks to date, and also shows North American and European works that offered inspiration to these artists. Included are works by such masters as Alexander Calder and Joaquin Torres-Garcia, and by younger artists such as Carmelo Arden Quin, Juan Bay, and Alberto Biasi. The book covers New Realist and geometric abstract art of the 1940s and 1950s; optical and kinetic art from the 1950s and 1970s; and contemporary works from the 1970s to the present day, including abstract art, architecture projects, and art that incorporates new technologies.
