Summary

There are few reliable general surveys of modern Latin American art and architecture, but see important early contributions by the British professor of literature Jean Franco, The Modern Culture of Latin America: Society and the Artist (1967; 2nd ed., London, 1970); the Uruguayan art historian V. Gesualdo (ed.), Enciclopedia del arte en América, 5 vols. (Buenos Aires, 1968), a most helpful guide to both art and architecture organized by both country and artist; the U.S. musicologist Gilbert Chase, Contemporary Art in Latin America (New York, 1970); and the Argentine art historian and critic Damián Bayón, Aventura plástica de Hispanoamérica (1974; Mexico, D.F., 1992). See also Damián Bayón (ed.), America Latina en sus artes (Paris and Mexico, D.F., 1974). More recent works include Historia del arte iberoamericano, 2 vols. (Madrid, 1988) by the Chilean Leopoldo Castedo, a book that covers art from the pre-Columbian period to the present; Damián Bayón, Historia del arte hispanoamericano, vol. 3, Siglos XIX y XX (Madrid, 1988); Damián Bayón (ed.). Arte moderno en América Latina (Madrid, 1988), with contributions from J. Romero Brest, Marta Traba, J. A. Manrique and others; Dawn Ades, Art in Latin America: The Modern Era, 1820–1980 (London, 1989); Oriana Baddeley and Valerie Fraser, Drawing the Line: Art and Cultural Identity in Contemporary Latin America (London, 1989) and Edward Lucie-Smith, Latin American Art of the 20th Century (London, 1993). Specifically on architecture, see H. R. Hitchcock, Latin American Architecture since 1945 (New York, 1955); Paul Damaz, Art in Latin American Architecture (New York, 1963);
