Latin American Artists: From 1785 to Now


Editorial

The essential survey showcasing the work of more than 300 modern and contemporary artists born or based in Latin America. Latin American artists have gained increasing international prominence as the art world awakens to the area’s extraordinary art scenes and histories. In an A–Z format, this volume introduces key artworks by 308 artists who together demonstrate the variety and vitality of artwork being made. This book focuses on those born, or who have lived, in the 20 Spanish and Portuguese-speaking regions of Latin America, and featuring historic and living artists – both those celebrated internationally and names less-known outside their native countries. To navigate this diversity, the graphic design chose to use typography as a vehicle to comment on this wide universe of visual culture. A special typeface was created for the cover, functioning as both text and image, adding alternate letters and decorative elements inspired by the popular imagery shared by these countries.
