It addresses the rising tensions between social and aesthetic agendas (especially around issues of race and class), redefinitions of national identities, and the confrontation between cosmopolitanism and nationalism. This set of essays explores various movements and critical voices in relation to relevant aspects of the international avant-garde and key moments of social and political history.</i></p> <p>Chapter 1 Art After the Mexican Revolution: Muralism, Prints, Photography<br /><i>Leonard Folgarait</i></p> <p>Chapter 2 The Reinvention of the ‘Semana de Arte Moderna’<br /><i>Francisco Alambert</i></p> <p>Chapter 3 José Carlos Mariátegui and the Eternal Dawn of Revolution<br />Martín Oyata</p> <p>Chapter 4 National Values: The Havana Vanguard in the <i>Revista de Avance</i> and the Lyceum Gallery<br /><i>Ingrid W. Elliott</i></p> <p>Chapter 5 Photography, Avant-Garde, and Modernity<br /><i>Esther Gabara</i></p> <p><b>Section II 1945-1959: The Cold War and Internationalism</b></p> <p><i>This group of essays addresses the rise of abstraction and consolidation of “internationalist” formalism, the polemics between the proponents of social realism and indigenismo as “authentic” art forms versus the subsequent development of alternative movements such as geometric, concrete and gestural abstraction. This section examines these movements within the social and political context of the Cold War and the rise of modernization theory and state-led developmentalism across Latin America. It also highlights the importance of the rise of institutions, museums, and events, such as the São Paulo Biennial, in the growing internationalization of Latin American art.</i></p> <p>Chapter 6 Wifredo Lam, Aimé Césaire, Eugenio Granell, André Breton: Agents of Surrealism in the Caribbean<br /><i>Lowery Stokes Sims</i></p> <p>Chapter 7 The Oscillation between myth and critique: Octavio Paz between Duchamp and Tamayo<br /><i>Cuauhtémoc Medina</i></p> <p>Chapter 8 Latin American Abstraction (1934–1969)<br /><i>Juan Ledezma</i></p> <p>Chapter 9 Architectural Modernism and Its Discontents: Brazil and Beyond<br /><i>Fabiola López-Durán</i></p> <p>Chapter 10 The Realism-Abstraction Debate in Latin America: Four Questions<br /><i>Megan Sullivan</i></p> <p>Chapter 11 São Paulo, and other Models: The Biennial in Latin America, 1951–1991<br /><i>Isobel Whitelegg</i></p> <p><b>Section III 1959-1973: Revolution, Resistance, and the Politicization of Art</b></p> <p><i>This section explores the upheavals in art and politics in the decade of the 1960s.  Significant changes in the visual arts (the dematerialization of the art object, the rise of happenings, and the politicization of art) are read against the political and social turmoil of the Cuban Revolution, the 1968 student protests, and polarization of the political spectrum across Latin America.  Several key theorists of this intense period of artistic and political development (Marta Traba, José Gómez Sicre, and Oscar Masotta) are particularly highlighted.</i></p> <p>Chapter 12 Art and the Cuban Revolution<br /><i>Alejandro Anreus</i></p> <p>Chapter 13 The Myths of Hélio Oiticica<br /><i>Irene V.

In addition to examining new artistic collectives and movements, this section explores several key art critics crucial to theorizing these experimental aesthetic strategies, including Juan Acha, Nelly Richard, and Willy Thayer.</i></p> <p>Chapter 19 An ‘Other’ Possible Revolution.
