About the Author
John Beardsley is Director of Garden and Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks.
From Publishers Weekly
Wrestling openly with problems of identity and alienation, Hispanic artists in the United States bring virtuoso skill, exuberant energy, social awareness and subversive humor to their work. Painters and sculptors who came here from Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Central and South America work in a spectrum of mediums and styles, from surrealist fantasies to polychrome carvings. This important volume, which coincides with a traveling exhibition, makes visible a major body of art, a movement, that has been almost entirely ignored by the mainstream art establishment. Highlights include Martain Ramirez's remarkable colored drawings, which hover between sanity and madness; Carlos Almaraz's jarring, flamboyant nightmare visions; Felipe Archuleta's timeless animal sculptures. Paz's essay captures the Hispanic-American artist's "double sense" of participation and separation.

Hispanic Art in the United States: Thirty Contemporary Painters and Sculptors
Seller: Michael Patrick McCarty, Bookseller, New Castle, CO, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Issued in conjunction with an exhibition held at Houston's Museum of Fine Arts in 1987, and in other museums, this volume presents some 200 paintings and sculptures by 30 contemporary Hispanic artists living and working in the United States. Beginning with a piece on what it means to be Hispanic and what in particular it means to be a Hispanic artist, the volume includes interpretive essays defining and illuminating the challenging variety of contemporary Hispanic art, ranging from folk-inspired religious carvings to politically-motivated satirical work, modernist abstraction, ethnically-infected Neo-Surrealism, and impassioned New Imagism. The authors also discuss the origins of Hispanic art and the influences that have shaped it, and provide biographical sketches of the artists. Seller Inventory # SKU2010028809
