Art in the Eighties

In this classic survey, now updated with full-color images throughout, Edward Lucie-Smith introduces the art of Latin America from 1900 to the present day. Lucie-Smith examines major artists such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, as well as dozens of less familiar Latin American artists and exiled artists from Europe and the United States who spent their lives in South America, such as Leonora Carrington. The author explains the political context for artistic development and sets the works in national, cultural, and international frameworks. Featured in this book are the artists who have searched for indigenous roots and local tradition; explored abstraction, expressionism, and new media; entered into dialogue with European and North American movements, while insisting on reaching a wide, popular audience for their work; and created an energetic, innovative, and varied art scene across the South American continent. With a new chapter that extends the discussion into the twenty-first century, a constant theme of Latin American Art Since 1960 is the embrace of the experimental and the new by artists across Latin America.

An Arousing History of Erotic Art

Ars Erotica

Amazonia Imagined is an important and beautiful document. It preserves a vital link to the past that is stored in the minds of the Amazonian peoples. It is a book that will be considered by anyone who has travelled to Brazil or is planning to visit there. It will have an instant appeal for those who are interested in the preservation of the Brazilian rainforest and the fate of the native Amazonian Indian. It is an elegantly conceived and executed tribute to these indigenous peoples and to this Brazilian artist's inimitable and pioneering technique. The Amazon has universal appeal and Kim Poor's artwork encapsulates the magic and colours of that extraordinary region. It showcases her unique Fine Art technique in creating images inspired by a mythology that is alive today and used by the indigenous peoples of The Amazon to explain nature and its origins to the next generations.
