Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"With the exception of Frida Kahlo, who in recent years has become a cult figure, the achievements of Latin American women in the visual and performing arts have been overlooked. This book presents a dazzling group of women who challenge the common assumptions about the nature of artists and their art. Among the 14 artists discussed are Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, Maria Luisa Memberg, Kahlo, of course, and Norah Borges (Jorge Luis' sister). In the early 1920s, Norah Borges single-handedly introduced modern art into Argentina through numerous illustrations in the avant-garde periodicals Prisma and Proa." -- Daniel E. Nelson, "Norah Borges: On the Margins of the Text"
