10 Latin American Artists at the Forefront of Abstraction
Artsy, by Salomé Gómez-Upegui
What is Latin American art? In a new anthology, Latin American Artists: From 1785 to Now, Brazilian art critic and curator Raphael Fonseca argues that discussions about what can be labeled as Latin American art generate more questions than answers. There is no consensus on which exact characteristics make an oeuvre Latin American, nor those that make art abstract. Still, in recent times, there has been a significant surge of artists at the intersection of these categories, working across a wide range of mediums, and producing fascinating oeuvres worth spotlighting.
