Twentieth-Century Art of Latin America (Revised and Expanded Edition)

Synopsis

This book's second edition might not have seen the light of day had it not been for the foresight of Dr. Patrick Frank. The original edition covered the art up to the 1980s and required a follow-up. Currently there is far more literature on the subject, as a result of greater interest among the public, and an increasing number of museum exhibitions accompanied by scholarly catalogues with essays by key specialists in the field. I was grateful to Dr. Frank not only for suggesting this revision but even more so for his willingness to be part of the process as coauthor and editor. I was most familiar with the generation of artists and critics whose visibility peaked in the 1960s and 1970s, while Dr. Frank has the advantage of being familiar with the younger generation that followed, which I knew less well. Among his numerous publications, Readings in Latin American Modern Art (Yale, 2004) proved to be most valuable when I taught at the University of Texas at Austin. For all of these reasons, I am gratified to see this book go into a second edition that should carry it well into the new century. It is my hope that this trend continues so that future generations can remain informed about the dynamic creativity of artists from Latin American countries.
