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." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Preface and acknowledgments; Art and Identity: Hispanics in the United States, by Octavio Paz; And/Or: Hispanic Art, American Culture, by John Beardsley; Recent Hispanic Art: Style and Influence, by Jane Livingston; Artists' Biographies; Artists' Bibliographies; General Bibliography; Index.

11.25 x 9.5 inches. 127 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original printed boards; pictorial dust jacket. "With artful composition and controlled framing--but no digital manipulation--Edgar Martins creates sublimely beautiful views of often unbeautiful sites. Minimalist nighttime beaches, forests ravaged by fires and Icelan…d's stark terrain have all served as subjects for his large-scale color photographs. He also explores the unexpected impact of Modernism on the landscape, including startlingly graphic airport runways and colorful highway barriers that, at first glance, read like abstract murals. Certain themes recur throughout Martins' work. A sense of place and alienation from it. A sense of mystery-vividly embodied in scenes such as a woman with a bouquet of balloons on a deserted shore. And a sense that something unsettling has just happened or is about to happen--a fire, an accident, a close encounter with some unspecified danger. As John Beardsley notes, "Some images are what we habitually expect photography to be--evidence of the world as we think we know it--while others obscure their subjects through an illusionism that borders on magic'" (the publisher). A near-fine copy First edition, signed by the photographer on the front flyleaf.
