Description
"This book - the first to explore the tradition of portraiture in Latin America from Precolumbian times to the present day - features more than 100 paintings and sculptures from the region." "Retratos (Portraits) presents an engaging variety of works by such well-known figures as Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and Jose Campeche as well as stunning examples by anonymous and obscure artists. Distinguished contributors discuss the significance of portraits in ancient Mayan civilizations, in the world of colonial Iberians, in the political struggles of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and in a remarkable range of other times and locations." "With a wealth of informative details and color illustrations, the book invites readers to appreciate Latin American portraits and their many meanings as never before."--BOOK JACKET.
