Book Synopsis The Art of Juan Manuel Blanes by : Octavio C. Assunção
Download or read book The Art of Juan Manuel Blanes written by Octavio C. Assunção and published by America's Society Art Gallery. This book was released on 1994 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of five essays and a useful chronology focuses on the canvases of Juan Manuel Blanes, the first internationally renowned painter from Uruguay. Born in 1830, Blanes was self-taught until he refined his skills in Italy in the 1860s. Blanes's art illustrates Uruguayan society in all its splendor: portraits of gentlemen, ladies, and leaders; paintings of historical events; and his famous depictions of the gauchos. Blanes did more than simply portray his homeland, he helped create a national identity with his paintings, after the bloody Uruguayan civil war of 1839-1852.
Book Synopsis The Art of Juan Manuel Blanes by : Carlos Cruz Diez
Download or read book The Art of Juan Manuel Blanes written by Carlos Cruz Diez and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the finest exponents of Latin American Kinetic and Op art, the Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez (born in 1923) is a legend among contemporaries such as Jesus Soto and Alejandro Otero--and across Latin America and Europe--but has been woefully little exhibited in North America. Those who caught the groundbreaking 2007 traveling exhibition The Geometry of Hope will recall Cruz-Diez's standout contributions, which had viewers bumping into one another as they negotiated the color shifts and sensations of motion that his sculptural constructions induced. A pioneer in color theory and color perception, Cruz-Diez solicits physical participation in his audience. In late 2008, the Americas Society, known for its leading role in presenting innovative site installations by artists such as Gego, Lygia Pape and Pedro Reyes, orchestrated Cruz-Diez's first solo exhibition in the United States, for which Carlos Cruz Diez: InFormed by Color is the exhibition catalogue--the first comprehensive publication in English devoted to the artist.

Book Synopsis Juan Manuel Besnes e Irigoyen by : Nelson Di Maggio
Download or read book Juan Manuel Besnes e Irigoyen written by Nelson Di Maggio and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scarcely known artist Juan Manuel Besnes e Irigoyen (San Sebastián, Spain 1779 - Uruguay 1865) was a outstanding artist and a representative personage of the history of Uruguay during the 19th century. Tutor of Juan Manuel Blanes, who painted him in remarkable portrait, he was also a soldier, calligrapher, topographer, teacher, politician, lithographer and important official over six decisive decades of institutional changes that occurred during the time in which he acted. Protagonist and witness, always close to power, he alternated with the Montevideo elite society and toured the smaller emerging new towns (Durazno, San José, Canelones), accompanied by President Fructuoso Rivera, while graphically documenting rural traditions and customs with a good dose of humor and ironic comments. "He left an artistic legacy that demands to be broadcast as to be seen and valued by a wide public and not continue to be available only to a circle of specialists. Is justice to recognize him as the basic foundation of national art, the origin, in his epic career of fundamental matter of Uruguayan painting."-(HKB Translation)-Verso Cover.

Book Synopsis Nineteenth-Century Spanish America by : Christopher Conway
Download or read book Nineteenth-Century Spanish America written by Christopher Conway and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth-Century Spanish America: A Cultural History provides a panoramic and accessible introduction to the era in which Latin America took its first steps into the Modern Age. Including colorful characters like circus clowns, prostitutes, bullfighters, street puppeteers, and bestselling authors, this book maps vivid and often surprising combinations of the new and the old, the high and the low, and the political and the cultural. Christopher Conway shows that beneath the diversity of the New World there was a deeper structure of shared patterns of cultural creation and meaning. Whether it be the ways that people of refinement from different countries used the same rules of etiquette, or how commoners shared their stories through the same types of songs, Conway creates a multidisciplinary framework for understanding the culture of an entire hemisphere. The book opens with key themes that will help students and scholars understand the century, such as the civilization and barbarism binary, urbanism, the divide between conservatives and liberals, and transculturation. In the chapters that follow, Conway weaves transnational trends together with brief case studies and compelling snapshots that help us understand the period. How much did books and photographs cost in the nineteenth century? What was the dominant style in painting? What kinds of ballroom dancing were popular? Richly illustrated with striking photographs and lithographs, this is a book that invites the reader to rediscover a past age that is not quite past, still resonating into the present.

Book Synopsis Inventing Indigenism by : Natalia Majluf
Download or read book Inventing Indigenism written by Natalia Majluf and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2023 ALAA Book Award, Association for Latin American Art/Arvey Foundation A fascinating account of the modern reinvention of the image of the Indian in nineteenth-century literature and visual culture, seen through the work of Peruvian painter Francisco Laso. One of the outstanding painters of the nineteenth century, Francisco Laso (1823–1869) set out to give visual form to modern Peru. His solemn and still paintings of indigenous subjects were part of a larger project, spurred by writers and intellectuals actively crafting a nation in the aftermath of independence from Spain. In this book, at once an innovative account of modern indigenism and the first major monograph on Laso, Natalia Majluf explores the rise of the image of the Indian in literature and visual culture. Reading Laso’s works through a broad range of sources, Majluf traces a decisive break in a long history of representations of indigenous peoples that began with the Spanish conquest. She ties this transformation to the modern concept of culture, which redefined both the artistic field and the notion of indigeneity. As an abstraction produced through indigenist discourse, an icon of authenticity, and a densely racialized cultural construct, the Indian would emerge as a central symbol of modern Andean nationalisms. Inventing Indigenism brings the work and influence of this extraordinary painter to the forefront as it offers a broad perspective on the dynamics of art and visual culture in nineteenth-century Latin America.
Book Synopsis Academies and Schools of Art in Latin America by : Oscar E. Vázquez
Download or read book Academies and Schools of Art in Latin America written by Oscar E. Vázquez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume’s chief aim is to bring together, in an English-language source, the principal histories and narratives of some of the most significant academies and national schools of art in South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean, from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries. The book highlights not only issues shared by Latin American academies of art but also those that differentiate them from their European counterparts. Authors examine issues including statutes, the influence of workshops and guilds, the importance of patronage, discourses of race and ethnicity in visual pedagogy, and European models versus the quest for national schools. It also offers first-time English translations of many foundational documents from several significant academies and schools. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, Latin American and Hispanic studies, and modern visual cultures.

Download or read book Living Matter written by Rachel Rivenc and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative volume is the first to address the conservation of contemporary art incorporating biological materials such as plants, foods, bodily fluids, or genetically engineered organisms. Eggshells, flowers, onion peels, sponge cake, dried bread, breast milk, bacteria, living organisms—these are just a few of the biological materials that contemporary artists are using to make art. But how can works made from such perishable ingredients be preserved? And what logistical, ethical, and conceptual dilemmas might be posed by doing so? Because they are prone to rapid decay, even complete disappearance, biological materials used in art pose a range of unique conservation challenges. This groundbreaking book probes the issues associated with displaying, collecting, and preserving these unique works of art. The twenty-four papers from the conference present a range of case studies, prominently featuring artists’ perspectives, as well as conceptual discussions, thereby affording a comprehensive and richly detailed overview of current thinking and practices on this topic. Living Matter is the first publication to explore broadly the role of biological materials in the creative process and present a variety of possible approaches to their preservation. The free online edition of this open-access publication is available at www.getty.edu/publications/living-matter/ and includes videos and zoomable illustrations. Also available are free PDF, EPUB, and Kindle/MOBI downloads of the book.
Book Synopsis Hemispheric Integration by : Niko Vicario
Download or read book Hemispheric Integration written by Niko Vicario and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring art made in Latin America during the 1930s and 1940s, Hemispheric Integration argues that Latin America’s position within a global economic order was crucial to how art from that region was produced, collected, and understood. Niko Vicario analyzes art’s relation to shifting trade patterns, geopolitical realignments, and industrialization to suggest that it was in this specific era that the category of Latin American art developed its current definition. Focusing on artworks by iconic Latin American modernists such as David Alfaro Siqueiros, Joaquín Torres-García, Cândido Portinari, and Mario Carreño, Vicario emphasizes the materiality and mobility of art and their connection to commerce, namely the exchange of raw materials for manufactured goods from Europe and the United States. An exceptional examination of transnational culture, this book provides a new model for the study of Latin American art.
