Book excerpt: El arte concreto, definido por Theo van Doesburg en su manifiesto Art concret de 1930, es un arte europeo, abstracto geométrico y universal, desconocido para el público en general, a pesar de tener un siglo de antigüedad. Sus obras se distinguen por ser ejecutadas mecánicamente a partir de bocetos, sólo con los elementos plásticos del arte (planos y colores), sin obtener ninguna referencia de la realidad u otro significado más que sí mismas. De igual modo, la finalidad de su contemplación, que requiere cierto esfuerzo de concentración, es inducir al espectador a un estado de consciencia, a través de una búsqueda interna. Por medio del estudio de uno de sus artistas, el pintor cubano Waldo Balart, afincado en Madrid, nos acercamos a dicho movimiento, repasando su trayectoria, su situación actual y la mentalidad global que comparten sus artistas. El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar que Waldo Balart es un artista representativo de esta corriente, una conclusión que se ha evidenciado después de comprobar que las colecciones y museos más prestigiosos dedicados al arte concreto cuentan con su obra entre la privilegiada selección de artistas. Otro propósito es hacer visible que él es un artista que ha hecho una gran aportación a la historia del arte, algo que ha sido resuelto con el examen del extenso trabajo artístico y teórico con el que ha contribuido, producto de toda una vida de dedicación. Igualmente se ha revelado que por medio de su amistad ha influido en el trabajo de artistas tan importantes como Andy Warhol. Además, la finalidad de la investigación es probar que Waldo, cuyo apellido completo es Díaz- Balart, despierta un inmenso interés por ser una figura notable socioculturalmente, hecho que conlleva el pertenecer a una familia destacada política y socialmente; primero en su país natal, Cuba y luego en el país donde se exilio, los EEUU. Por otro lado, Waldo ha vivido en diferentes partes del mundo - Cuba, Nueva York, Madrid, Paraguay, Brasil y Bélgica - absorbiendo cosas destacable de varias culturas, en momentos puntuales que concentran una enorme atención. De ellos se destaca la explosión cultural que vivió en Nueva York, durante el reinado del expresionismo abstracto, el pop art y el minimalismo. Asimismo, en cada cultura ha convivido con personalidades tan relevantes como su excuñado Fidel Castro e incluso, fuera del plano artístico, él mismo desempeñó un valor social preponderante. Todas las circunstancias que rodean su atractiva personalidad, de alguna manera han sido absorbidas y proyectadas en su labor artística, en la que utiliza el color como herramienta expresiva. Con pretensión de evitar su dispersión y consiguiente perdida, así como de colaborar en el registro de la historia del arte contemporáneo, este ensayo reúne la mayor parte del material sobre un valioso artista, que hasta ahora está poco estudiado...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1959, the very year the Cuban Revolution amplified Cold War tensions in the Americas, museumgoers in the United States witnessed a sudden surge in major exhibitions of Latin American art. Surveying the 1960s boom of such exhibits, this book documents how art produced in regions considered susceptible to communist influence was staged on U.S. soil for U.S. audiences. Held in high-profile venues such as the Guggenheim Museum, the Walker Art Center, MoMA, and the Art Institute of Chicago, the exhibitions of the 1960s Latin American art boom did not define a single stylistic trend or the art of a single nation but rather attempted to frame Latin America as a unified whole for U.S. audiences. Delia Solomons calls attention to disruptive artworks that rebelled against the curatorial frames purporting to hold them and reveals these exhibitions to be complex contact zones in which competing voices collided. Ultimately, through multiple means—including choosing to exclude artworks with readily decipherable political messages and evading references to contemporary inter-American frictions—the U.S. curators who organized these shows crafted projections of Pan-American partnership and harmony, with the United States as leader, interpreter, and good neighbor, during an era of brutal U.S. interference across the Americas. Theoretically sophisticated and highly original, this survey of Cold War–era Latin American art exhibits sheds light on the midcentury history of major U.S. art museums and makes an important contribution to the fields of museum studies, art history, and Latin American modernist art.

Book excerpt: L'artiste native de Cuba Carmen Herrera (née en 1915) peint depuis plus de sept décennies, mais ce n'est que ces dernières années que la reconnaissance pour son travail a projeté l'artiste vers la notoriété internationale. Ce beau volume offre le premier examen soutenu d'elle, depuis le début de sa carrière en 1948 jusqu'en 1978, et s'étend sur les mondes de l'art de La Havane, de Paris et de New York. Les essais considèrent les premières études de l'artiste à Cuba, son implication dans le Salon des Réalités Nouvelles dans le Paris d'après-guerre et sa sortie révolutionnaire de New York. Puis l'ouvrage situe son travail dans le contexte d'un art d'avant-garde latino-américain plus large. Un essai de Dana Miller considère le travail de New York d'Herrera depuis les années 1950 jusque dans les années 1970, lorsque Herrera arrivait et perfectionnait son style de signature. Des photographies familiales personnelles des archives de Herrera enrichissent le récit, et une chronologie traitant de l'intégralité de sa vie et de sa carrière présente des images documentaires supplémentaires. Plus de quatre-vingts œuvres sont illustrées sous forme de plaques de couleur. Ce livre est la représentation la plus étendue des travaux de Herrera à ce jour. (d'après l'éditeur).

Download or read book Tom s Esson written by Gean Moreno and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first monograph on Afro-Cuban artist Tomás Esson. Tomás Esson: The GOAT features paintings created over thirty-five years that showcase the artist's distinct style, energy, and biting humor. Esson is one of Cuba's most important post-Revolutionary artists and his work remains timely today. In Esson's work, suggestive narratives often involve highly sexualized, monstrous creatures alongside the heroes of the Cuban Revolution. Coming of age in a culturally dynamic Havana, Esson was a fierce critic of the social reality he saw around him. His work was showcased in a number of controversial exhibitions in the late 1980s and the artist became a central figure in the decade's renaissance in Cuban art. Esson began to exhibit internationally very early on, and in 1990 he left Cuba and moved to the United States. Alongside images of Esson's works, this publication provides newly commissioned scholarship and reprints of critical texts that are no longer in circulation. This volume includes essays by Erica James and Antonio Eligio Fernandez (Tonel), as well as a new interview with the artist.
