Arte/Art, Casa & Estilo Internacional: Una Expresión Artística Contemporánea / An Artistic Contemporary Expression, Volume II
U.S.A. Ugo Campello, 2004. Hardcover.
CONTEMPORARY LATIN AMERICAN ART IN FULL COLOR:
A substantial bilingual survey presenting paintings and sculpture by more than twenty contemporary Latin American artists, combining established artists with emerging creators and illustrating their work extensively in color. Spanish and English texts accompany artist profiles, biographical information, and reproductions of individual works.
OVERVIEW: A GALLERY BETWEEN COVERS:
Produced in connection with Casa & Estilo Internacional, this second volume continues the publication's presentation of contemporary artists from differing national and cultural backgrounds. Rather than concentrating on a single school or movement, the book brings together figurative, abstract, and sculptural work, emphasizing the variety of artistic expression within the contemporary Latin American art world.
The bilingual format broadens its usefulness, while the large color reproductions make it particularly appealing as a visual survey. The illustrated Mysora García section, for example, combines Spanish and English biographical and critical text with full-page reproductions and information identifying individual works, media, and dimensions.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Hardcover in illustrated dust jacket. Large-format art book, extensively illustrated throughout with full-color reproductions of paintings and sculpture. Text in Spanish and English. Artist sections include biographical or descriptive text together with reproductions and identifying information for individual works.
CONDITION: Fine in a Fine dust jacket. No flaws or blemishes noted; clean, bright, and gift quality.
CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE: DOCUMENTING A DIVERSE ART SCENE:
Arte/Art documents a deliberately broad cross-section of contemporary Latin American artistic production rather than presenting a single movement or national tradition. Its mixture of established and newer artists reflects the editorial mission of Casa & Estilo Internacional, which sought both to showcase recognized figures and to provide exposure for developing artists.
