5.0 out of 5 stars
A hitherto neglected area of modern art is coming to light,
By Claude Reich (Florianopolis, Brazil and Paris, France) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Geometric Abstraction: Latin American Art from the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection (Hardcover)
The catalogue for a 2001 exhibition held at the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, MA, this book focuses on the largest private collection in the world of modern Latin American art, rich in Brazilian, Argentine and Venezuelian works. Divided into several essays (especially interesting are the one comparing Minimalism and Neo-Concretism and the one centered on the influence of Paris on the Latin American artists who stayed there)it is full of high-quality illustrations of rarely seen works (I discovered Lygia Clark's "Bichos", interactive unfolding steel structures which are a reflexion on light and form and which call on to the spectator to be part of this reflexion)and is a treasure trove of documents on the various movements (especially press articles of the 1950's and 1960's).
Highly recommended. |
