Items related to Surrealism in Latin America /anglais
It is widely recognised that surrealism has been fundamental to the development of modern art and literature. what is often under-appreciated, however, is its international perspective. This thought-provoking and comprehensive survey reveals what happened to surrealism as it travelled to and fro between Europe and Latin America. For almost three decades, journeys, encounters, exchanges, collaborations and exhibitions forged multiple links. surrealism flourished and transformed itself aided by poets and artists including Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Frida Kahlo, wifredo Lam, roberto Matta, César Moro and Octavio Paz. Almost a century after the first manifestos appeared, this timely volume considers the lasting legacy the movement left. This book is the first to cover both literary and visual surrealism, and explores in fascinating detail how artists and writers contested, embraced and adapted a host of avant-garde ideas and practices.

Review:
“[This book] focuses on both visual arts and literary production by a wide range of practitioners. . . . Recommended.”—Choice
“Provides new Latin American-centric scholarship, not only about surrealism’s impact on the region but also about the region’s impact on surrealism. It reconsiders the relation between art and anthropology, casts new light on the aesthetics of ‘primitivism,’ and makes a strong case for Latin American artists and writers as the inheritors of a movement that effectively went underground after World War II.”—Eyes In

Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEW. 1st. 224 pages, illustrations; 26 cm. BRAND NEW. A fine copy. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap. This volume evolved from "Vivisimo Muerto: Debates on Surrealism in Latin America," a symposium held at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, 25/26 June 2010. "This collection of essays--the first major account of surrealism in Latin America that covers both literary and visual production--explores the role the movement played in the construction and recuperation of cultural identities and the ways artists and writers contested, embraced, and adapted surrealist ideas and practices. Surrealism in Latin America provides new Latin American-centric scholarship, not only about surrealism's impact on the region but also about the region's impact on surrealism. It reconsiders the relation between art and anthropology, casts new light on the aesthetics of 'primitivism,' and makes a strong case for Latin American artists and writers as the inheritors of a movement that effectively went underground after World War II. In so doing, it expands our understanding of important, fascinating figures who are less well known than their counterparts active in Europe and New York. Deriving from a conference held at the Getty Research Institute, the book is rich in new materials drawn from the GRI's diverse Mexican and South American surrealist collections, which include the archives of Vicente Huidobro, Enrique Gomez-Correa, Cesar Moro, Enrique Lihn, and Emilio Westphalen. This panoramic survey goes a step beyond other recent studies to consider surrealism's ongoing legacies, proposing that the surrealist movement in Latin America, like the vivisimo muerto (the living dead)--cannot be relegated to the past." - Publisher.
