Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an overview of the social history of modern and contemporary Latin American and Latino art. This collection of thirty-three essays focuses on Latin American artists throughout Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and the United States. The author provides a chronology of modern Latin American art; a history of "social art history" in the United States; and synopses of recent theoretical and historical writings by major scholars from Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Peru, Uruguay, Chile, and the United States. In her essays, she discusses a vast array of topics including: the influence of the Mexican muralists on the American continent; the political and artistic significance of poster art and printmaking in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and among Chicanos; the role of women artists such as Guatemalan painter Isabel Ruiz; and the increasingly important role of politics and multinational businesses in the art world of the 1970s and 1980s. She explores the reception of Latin American and Latino art in the United States, focusing on major historical exhibits as well as on exhibits by artists such as Chilean Alfredo Jaar and Argentinean Leandro Katz. Finally, she examines the significance of nationalist and ethnic themes in Latin American and Latino art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on 20th Century Latin American Art provides a broad synthesis of the subject through short chapters illustrated with reproductions of iconic works by artists who have made significant contributions to art and society. Designed as a teaching tool for non-art historians, the book's purpose is to introduce these important artists within a new scholarly context and recognize their accomplishments with those of others beyond the Americas and the Caribbean. The publication provides an in-depth analysis of topics such as political issues in Latin American art and art and popular culture, introducing views on artists and art-related issues that have rarely been addressed. Organized both regionally and thematically, it takes a unique approach to the exploration of art in the Americas, beginning with discussions of Modernism and Abstraction, followed by a chapter on art and politics from the 1960s to the 1980s. The author covers Spanish-speaking Central America and the Caribbean, regions not usually addressed in Latin American art history surveys. The chapter on Carnival as an expression of popular culture is a particularly valuable addition. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Latin American history, culture, art, international relations, gender studies, and sociology, as well as Caribbean studies.

Download or read book Contemporary Art in Latin America written by Nikolaos Kotsopoulos and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Art in Latin America continues the ARTWORLD series, bringing to light innovative contemporary art from across the globe. Delving into the artistic work from specific major geographical regions, the series continues to showcase both established and unknown artists whose work connects with their roots. New in paperback, Contemporary Art in Latin America celebrates this intriguing region and its creative outputs, setting the vibrant artistic tradition within its historical and cultural contexts. The volume opens with a text section, including essays by valued figures in the contemporary art world, looking firstly at the historical origins of Latin American art and moving on to focus extensively on contemporary work being produced by artists from this region. This section of the book will also be supported by an artist interview, offering the reader a personal insight into the relationship between Latin America’s art and its cultural past, present and future. The second half of the book comprises a plate section showcasing a broad variety of the art and themes discussed elsewhere in the book. Contemporary Art in Latin America encourages readers to reflect upon the art in this region and by these artists in relation to its historical and geographical context and encompasses a wide spectrum of critical debates, including politics and curatorial practice. The artists featured include those considered the most influential to emerge from the region during the last 50 years, such as Brazilian conceptual artist Cildo Meireles, whose work is currently being exhibited at Tate Modern, London and Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Clark, who along with Ivan Serpa, founded the Neo-Concretist art movement. Doris Salcedo is also included, who caused a stir with her piece Shibboleth — creating a subterranean chasm that stretched the length of the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern. The work of new and emerging talents is also featured, such as Miguel Calderon, labelled the “enfant terrible of contemporary art” and who has been described as having “a knack for pushing crass stereotypes and clichés to absurd and provocative extremes”. Encompassing the political and personal, Contemporary Art in Latin America is highly unique in its approach to exploring the artistic movements of this region, giving those with a genuine interest in art and culture an insight that is rich, engaging, shocking and inspiring.

Download or read book Artists from Latin American Cultures written by Kristin G. Congdon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-10-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin Americans have long been relegated to the cultural background, obscured by the dominant European culture. This biographical dictionary profiles 75 artists from the United States and 13 nations of Central and South America and the Caribbean, including painters, sculptors, photographers, muralists, printmakers, installation artists, and performance artists. Some of their works recall pre-Columbian times; others confront the cultural imperialism of the U.S. over Latin America; and many explore how the dominant elements of culture can affect identities of class, gender, and sexuality. Profiled artists range from the renowned to the little-known: Frida Kahlo; Tina Modotti; Diego Rivera; Myrna Baez; Raquel Forner; Patrocino Barela; and many more. Color photographs are provided for many of the works. Each entry includes information about the artist's childhood, schooling, creative growth, and artistic styles and themes. Exemplary artworks and influences are described, along with a look at popular and critical responses. Supplemental features include artist cross references, a glossary of essential terms from the art world, and a number of vivid photos portraying the artists in their creative environments.

Download or read book Relational Undercurrents written by Tatiana Flores and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relational Undercurrents: Contemporary Art of the Caribbean Archipelago' will call attention to a region of the Americas that is difficult to categorize and often overlooked: the island nations of the Caribbean. The exhibition proposes an archipelagic model defining the Caribbean from the perspective of its archipelago of islands, as distinct from the continental experience to study issues around race, history, the legacy of colonialism, and the environment. The exhibition features artists from the Hispanophone, Anglophone, Francophone, and Dutch Caribbean. Relational Undercurrents will emphasize the thematic continuities of art made throughout the archipelago and its diasporas, challenging conventional geographic and conceptual boundaries of Latin America. This approach draws particular attention to issues arising from the colonial legacy that are relevant to Latin America as a whole, but which emerge as central to the work of 21st-century Caribbean artists, including Janine Antoni (Bahamas), Humberto Diáz (Cuba), Jorge Pineda (Dominican Republic), and Allora & Calzadilla (Puerto Rico).

Download or read book Destination written by Marianelly Neumann and published by . This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated publication accompanies the exhibition Destination: Latin America / Modern and Contemporary Latin American Art from the Collection of the Neuberger Museum of Art. The collection is approached within the framework of certain criteria that reflect contemporary concerns in the study of Latin American art. As the works range in date from the early decades of the twentieth century to the present day, the breadth of the collection offers an opportunity to address significant historical moments and several key topics relevant to Latin American art. However, the idea of Latin America as its own entity has been highly debated in recent years. How can we speak of such a large geographical space, one that covers twenty-four countries from North, Central and South America, and that includes approximately 618 million inhabitants speaking Spanish, Portuguese, Quechua, Guarani, Aymara, Nahuatl, Maya and hundreds of other native languages? It is also clear that Latin America is not peripheral to the Western world, but an integral part of it. Nonetheless, despite the challenges of thinking about such a complex ensemble as a whole, there are indeed some overarching aspects of history and aesthetic concerns that can provide a framework for consideration of the art of Latin America, exemplified by the collection of the Neuberger Museum of Art and discussed in the present catalogue. The book offers in sum a multifaceted, didactic journey through twentieth- and twenty-first-century Latin American art, organized in five sections. The first includes work by artists affiliated with the artistic revolution that emerged after the Mexican Revolution of 1910-20; the second features sculpture and painting by key Latin American artists exploring color, form, space, and motion; the third section features work by Caribbean and South American artists inspired by African art, Surrealism, and Magical Realism; the fourth section addresses the challenges faced by artists living under the dictatorships of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, when most of South America was under military control; and the final section concentrates on contemporary artists looking at themes of history, globalization, violence, and social criticism.

Download or read book Beyond Representation in Contemporary Caribbean Art written by Carlos Garrido Castellano and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caribbean has been traditionally associated with externally devised mappings and categories, thus appearing as a passive entity to be consumed and categorized. Challenging these forces and representations, Carlos Garrido Castellano argues that something more must be added to the discussion in order to address contemporary Caribbean visual creativity. Beyond Representation in Contemporary Caribbean Art arises from several years of field research and curatorial activity in museums, universities, and cultural institutions of Jamaica, Trinidad, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the United States. This book explores the ways in which Caribbean individuals and communities have recurred to art and visual creativity to create and sustain public spaces of discussion and social interaction. The book analyzes contemporary Caribbean art in relation to broader discussions of citizenship, cultural agency, critical geography, migration, and social justice. Covering a broad range of artistic projects, including curatorial practice, socially engaged art, institutional politics, public art, and performance, this book is about the imaginative ways in which Caribbean subjects and communities rearrange the sociocultural framework(s) they inhabit and share.
