The product of Jacqueline Barnitz’s more than forty years of studying and teaching, Twentieth-Century Art of Latin America surveys the major currents in and artists of Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America (including Brazil). This new edition has been refreshed throughout to include new scholarship on several modern movements, such as abstraction in the River Plate region and the Cuban avant-garde. A new chapter covers art since 1990. In all, 30 percent of the images in this edition are new, and thirty-four additional artists are discussed and illustrated.
. . . this is a thorough account of Latin American art and of the social and political issues that influenced it. * Choice *
Without a doubt, Twentieth-Century Art of Latin America was when first published and remains to date the clearest, least dogmatic, and most evenhanded survey of this material in English, for the academic as well as the general reader. * Hispanic American Historical Review *
Twentieth-Century Art of Latin America provides an engaging and balanced introduction to the major moments of modern and contemporary art in Latin America for the students and nonspecialists for whom it was written. * Latin American Research Review *
