Resumen del libro

This is the first comprehensive and authoritative survey of an increasingly popular and important field, edited by one of its most respected scholars
Springing from complex cultural roots, Latin American art is extraordinarily diverse and often startling in its originality
Written by a team of experts, each of whom writes about the art of his or her own country, providing a genuinely Latin American viewpoint
The first English-language publication to do full justice to the richness and complexity of the Latin American art traditions

revistas de prensa

'Crisply designed, full of attractive images and engagingly written.' (San Francisco Examiner)

'With 17 authors each writing about the art of his or her own country, what distinguishes this book is that it is the first to present a Latin American perspective on the subject … A major overview of a vital contribution to modern art.' (The Good Book Guide)

'Presents a range of visual material, much of it from private collections, which is simply not available elsewhere.' (The Art Book )

'Large, impressive and handsome … a refreshing variety of style throughout … Given its range and production values, Latin American Art in the Twentieth Century is extremely good value, and is recommended as such.' (The British Bulletin of Publications on Latin America, The Caribbean, Portugal and Spain)

'An excellent reference.' (Art in America)

'A substantial addition to the meager [nb US spelling] information available in English on the art of the region … this book is a milestone.' (Art News)
