Edward Lucie-Smith discusses all the major subjects and issues: magic realism, expressionism, and other concepts shared with Latin American literature; the great muralists Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Jose Clemente Orozco; the interaction of politics, society, and art; the continuing interest in folk art; and the dialogue between avant-garde European and North American movements and \"indigenist\" thinking in the work of artists such as Wifredo Lam, Matta, Rufino Tamayo, and Frida Kahlo. Many other artists from the 1900s to the present day are included in this compelling look at a great body of brilliantly original and imaginative art. For the second edition, the text has been updated and a new final section introduces some of Latin America's leading contemporary artists: Jose Bedia (Cuba\/USA), Doris Salcedo (Colombia), Ruben Ortiz Torres (Mexico), Miguel Calderan (Mexico), Ernesto Neto (Brazil), Diana Domingues (Brazil), and Beatriz Milhazes (Brazil). Several of these artists make use of the latest in modern technology, including interactive installations, photographs, and video art. 178 illustrations, 45 in color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLucie-Smith, Edward:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eEdward Lucie-Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e is well-known as a poet, novelist, biographer, broadcaster, and critic, and he is the author of numerous books, among them \u003cem\u003eThe Thames \u0026amp; Hudson Dictionary of Art Terms\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFurniture: A Concise History\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMovements in Art Since 1945\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSymbolist Art\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eSexuality in Western Art\u003c\/em\u003e (all in the World of Art series).\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50412568969490,"sku":"9780500203569","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_6157c575-1445-4dd0-892e-3b83661c0d24.jpg?v=1729317157","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/latin-american-art-of-the-20th-century-9780500203569","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
