In this classic survey, now updated and with color images throughout, Edward Lucie-Smith presents the art of Latin America from 1900 to the present day. He discusses in detail significant figures such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, as well as dozens of lesser-known artists. Included are artists who spent their lives in exile, as well as artists from Europe and the USA who lived in South America, such as Leonora Carrington. The artists featured here seek their indigenous roots and local tradition, explore abstraction, expressionism, and new media (video, installation, performance), interact with European and North American movements, while insisting on reaching a wide popular audience for their work, creating a vibrant, innovative, and highly diverse artistic scene across the continent today. A new chapter extends the discussion into the twenty-first century, summarizing key trends and the most notable artists of the last two decades. A constant theme is the embrace of the experimental and the new by artists throughout Latin America.
