This bilingual book describes the numerous elements that have shaped the twentieth and twenty-first century art of Latin America, beginning with its pre-Columbian cultures and following developments through today. It traces the influence of the early modernist movements in Paris, as well as the Mexican muralist movement, and shows how Latin American artists adapted the forms to express their national cultures. The main section reproduces many significant artworks, each accompanied by biographical details from the artist's life and a discussion of the inspiration and meaning behind the work. Three color inserts and a bibliography are included.
