The first book to concentrate on the major contemporary art forms and major artists in the whole of Latin America. With emphasis on post World War II developments, this survey of Latin American art since 1920 analyzes the effort of Latin American artists to enter fully into the artistic expressions of the 20th century. This work presents the leading artists, and the main trends in the context of their historical, social and cultural backgrounds. He includes biographical data, critical evaluations, and descriptions of the most important works in painting, graphic arts, sculpture, and architecture.
